JOOLA European Youth Top 10 in Prague

The top seeded player in Cadet Boys Singles Event Vladimir SIDORENKO of Russia had a rough start today at the JOOLA European Youth Top 10 in Prague. He was stretched to full distance in the duel against his compatriot Maksim GREBNEV but it was not surprise since Maksim is highly seeded at position no. 4.

More as a surprise was the second round match against Jan VALENTA of Czech Republic. It also concluded in seven full games despite the fact that host nation representative is only ninth on the seeding. In third round SIDORENKO finally settled into less troubled rhythm and beat WANG Chenxi of Azerbaijan.

Bilal HAMACHE was in charge for the biggest upset in cadet category. He overcame his compatriots Vincent PICARD and Lilian BARDET before he succeeded against Carlo ROSSI of Italy.
