Cant wait.. What is your guess, who will win it?
I wish best luck for Martin Hanak, I believe he is the dark horse of this final ;-)

 

[Michal_Z]

Ha!
Great matches so far!
And I was correct, Hanak won all matches so far ;-)
So did Vráblík, he even beat Blaszczyk, hmmm..

 

[Michal_Z]

Sooo, Hanák beat Blaszczyk, but Vráblík lost to David, so now the third place won Vráblík beating Blaszczyk and the final is Hanák vs. David!
They are going to play in 30 minutes from now, at 14:50
Go Hanák go!

 

[Michal_Z]

Hahaaa, guess who is playing in this week´s tournament??
Its Maxim Shmyrev!
He lost his opening match to Roko Tosic 3:1, but its nice to see world championg of pingpong to play table tennis for a change ;-)

 

[Michal_Z]

Maxim Shmyrev, the former world champion of pingpong, is now in the finals of the challenger series!
He just managed to beat Miroslav Ho?ejší and is going to play Roko Tosic for the 1st place!
Just in few minutes..

This is insane..

 

[Michal_Z]

Kohei Sambe was just too bad for Evgueni!

Hořejší knows how to play against defense!

This chinese Canadian is very good player, but Evgueni Chtchetinine is not giving up easy..

 

[Michal_Z]

And whoever likes attack vs. defense, this is very good match!

Stetinine in great form today!

 

[Michal_Z]

Exceptional skills of Stetinin!
I always loved watching him play someone good into defense!
And Gerold is one of them.. This is very good match!

 

[Michal_Z]

Yesterday was a day of amazing play off at the challenger!
First Robles vs. Jouti, what a fight!

And then the final, Chtchetinine vs. Robles, oh my!

Watch and be amazed!

 

[Michal_Z]

Amazing match! I hope everyone enjoys this one!

 

[Michal_Z]

If you like defenders, I got few matches (sorry for quality, they dont stream any better)..

This one is exceptional!

Today I picked Florian Bluhm.. against Gilabert:

And agains Josef Šimončík (very good match)

And then two matches of Vráblík vs. Chtchetinine, first the group match:

And then highlights video of the semifinal..

Vráblík got a lot better against defense (or against Chtchetinine), if you look at his results over years, now he has much more success!!

[Michal_Z]

Thank you

This is a classic defense vs. defense.. How else can it quit than the with the use of the expedite rule?
After that the match got much faster! ;-)

In the next match Chtchetinine needed to win in order to proceed into semifinals.
But Martinez wanted to win sooo bad! .. turned out to be a very good match!

Sven Happek managed to beat Chtchetinine!
Unfortunatelly I did not record that one, which is very big shame and I apologize, because it was a fascinating match.
But before last time they met it was 3:0 Chtchetinine, so I did not expect anything else.
So after that match when Sven had to play Huzjak, I was ready.. here is the match:
