ITTF ProTour Chinese Taipei Open – victory for Süß, Bronze for Dudu

What a debut – Christian Süß and his new double partner Dimitrij Ovtcharov won immediately the gold medal at the ProTour Taipei Open. Following a clear 4:1 victory in the final against the world-class combination Gao Ning/Yang Zi from Singapore, the two Düsseldorf club-mates climbed up to the top of the podium.  In the semi-final Süß/Ovtcharov defeated Mizutani/Kishikawa and the round before the two Germans won against Lundquist/Gerell in a convincing way. Concerning the new team match system at the Olympic Games, the success of the new youngster-double is a good alternative to the European Champion double Boll/Süß.

 

 

Wu Jiaduo was so close – to her first participation in a women’s single competition final – but she returned home with the bronze medal in her luggage. Dudu played a fantastic tournament with victories against Japanese Fujinuma and Hirano as well as against the No. 10 of the world ranking Kim Kyung AH (South-Korea). This makes a lot of appeal for Dudu, coming up higher in world ranking list, which is very important in regard to Beijing 2008. In spite of the 3:4 defeat in the semi-final against the No. 8th top-seeded player, Wu Jiaduo from club Kroppach can be highly pleased with her start in the first international competition of the new season.
