Cedric NUYTINCK (BEL) after losing 3-4 to Omar ASSAR (EGY) in the group stage:

“Omar started playing a bit better in the fifth game and he was able to receive my service very well while I was making some costly mistakes by hitting the ball too much. It is always deadly to lose vital points against top 50 players like Omar. It was painful that I lost the match because I was in good form having trained very well for the tournament. I knew I could win the match but it was my fault that I could not maintain my form throughout the encounter. The next match against Shibaev promises to be tough like this because he is also a good player. I hope I can start well against him just like I started against Omar.”
