In absence of PATTANTYUS there is no main favorite in the men competition. Among the favorites we can mention the title holder Tamas LAKATOS Janos JAKAB and Peter FAZEKAS already won the throphy several times they also will try to enrich their treasuary. But they will have to be careful with the youngsters like Adam SZUDI Bence MAJOROS or Nandor ECSEKI.

The highest ranked hungarian player on the ITTF World Ranking Georgina POTA won’t be at Erd due to flu. So we can say the same as in the men competition there is no clear favorite.
