Duesseldorf Masters with FRANZISKA and OVTCHAROV
Six world-class players will be competing in the ninth edition of the Düsseldorf Masters on Friday (from 4 p.m.), Saturday and Sunday (each from 10 a.m.). Top seed is Dimitrij OVTCHAROV, on number 2 comes Patrick FRANZISKA, who will take part at Duesseldorf Masters for the first time. All matches in the ARAG CenterCourt can be watched live streaming on Sportdeutschland.TV, Borussia-TV and tischtennis.de. On Friday, six quarter-final matches will be played.
Ricardo WALTHER, who, like FRANZISKA, wanted to compete in the Masters for the first time, had to cancel at short notice due to a thigh injury. Originally seeded number sixth, he will be replaced by DTTZ member An Duy Dang, but the draw will remain unchanged. A total of 14 players will take part in the Masters.
