Overview of Qualification days

Nevertheless, the day off is the ideal for summary of interesting results.

Defending champion from Porec 2009 Ding Yi from Austria goes through the tournament as easily as the largest rival Miroslav Cecava of Czech Republic. Both of them haven’t lost a set yet. Valentina Popova, 9-times European champion is also performing great table tennis. We can look forward to her more difficult matches on Thursday.

Football’s legend Antonín Panenka, today’s pillar of Slavoj Čerčany, proved he is familiar even with the smallest ball. Unfortunately he did not win any of his three tight matches. His matches attracted lot of fans. It is obvious as especially men players well remember his fabulous Belgrade’s penalty kick, nowadays known as – „panenka penalty“. Thursday will bring both the champion rounds as well as consolations of single matches while doubles will be played on Friday.
