Halbfinale

Dimitrij Ovtcharov (GER) after beating Simon Gauzy (FRA) 4-3 in semifinal

“I was exhausted and I just kept on fighting and remain focus. It is a tough competition because I only slept for three hours and I am just trying to be focused. It will surely be an exciting final against Timo Boll but surely a German will win the World Cup.”


Timo Boll (GER) after beating Ma Long (CHN) 4-3 in semifinal

“I don’t know what to say because it was a crazy match. Being down by 1-3 against such a great player like Ma Long. Even when I was down, I was a bit more relaxed trying to enjoy the game. I must also thank the fans for their support. I think I had nice feeling and having such feeling against such a great player was helpful.”


Schade, ich hätte sehr gerne gehört, was Ma Long zu seiner Niederlage gegen Timo Boll sagt.

Genauso hätte mich interessiert, was Lin Gaoyuan zu seinem Viertelfinal Aus gegen Timo Boll gesagt hat, vor allem da er wieder so viele Matchbälle verspielt hat, wie schon bei der WM gegen Xu Xin. Sollte er schnell in den Griff bekommen und nicht nochmal vorkommen, sonst setzt sich das bei ihm mental fest und er hat seinen Ruf weg als Nervenbündel, obwohl er noch jung ist.
