already played

I think overall the European level is quite good, maybe in few years they can be quite a challenge for Asia.

juliane schenk from germany bt pi hongyan from france, a sensation !!!

Danes are 4/4 in mens singles and 2/4 in mens doubles. Not a surprise, but still makes you wonder what the rest of us Europeans do... Furthermore I think Gade won't lose a single set in this tournament.

Well done Denmark.. But still no women at the last 4..

... Furthermore I think Gade won't lose a single set in this tournament.

he might loose a set to Jonassen, especially with the 21pt system.
we must wait and see
