Felix LEBRUN vs. WANG Chuqin 1:3 (6:11, 11:9, 6:11, 8:11)



Statements Wang Chuqin:

"I have been focusing on Felix for a long time, watching him progress step by step, making it to Top 10, showing stable performance every time and standout moments every match. I think his strength and ranking are well matched, or he should be ranked higher."

"He will become one of the biggest opponents for Team China. I studied him very well and looked forward to this match. I would say I'm well prepared, well prepared against his style and strengths."

"Harimoto is a longtime competitor for me. He showed a recovery in his form lately. His skills have also improved. I expect it to be a tough match. But as I've made it to the quarterfinals, I just want to enjoy the game."

Da hat es der Dang Qui doch glatt geschafft. Nach 1:2 noch 3:2. Und der letzte Satz war wirklich super gespielt....

Viele Spiele dieser Art kann er sich der Chinese auf internationaler Bühne nicht leisten. Der hätte heute auch gegen andere europäische Spitzenspieler verloren.
