On this second day, the Swiss competition was very intense and had a few surprises in store for us.
First of all, we can note the qualification in two sets of the French T. ROUXEL against the Canadian X. SHEN.(21-18 / 21-14). He will face in the next round a serious opponent, S. KIDAMBI (number 13 in the world) who qualified in 3 sets. (18-21 / 21-18 / 21-11).
Big surprise on the women's doubles side where the English pair BIRCH/SMITH lost in their first match in 2 sets against the Danish MAGELUND and RAVN. (21-15 / 21-18)
Another surprise but this time for the French Toma Junior POPOV who lost in a very close match against the Canadian Brian YANG. (18-21 / 22-20 / 23-21). Nevertheless, he will be able to continue the competition in men's doubles with his brother Christo POPOV after their victory in 2 sets. (21-12 / 21-15).
