Therese in a group of death

HURGHADA - Will it be Therese Klompenhouwer or Richard de Bruin tonight who is the strongest in the Dutch clash? And new the Turkish champion Ahmet Alp, how can he stop the unpredictable Francis Forton?

Who will advance to the next round in the strong group, in which Murat Tüzül (Turkey) and Jae Guen Kim battle in a neck-and-neck race race in their last match?

The European ladies champion Therese Klompenhouwer made already a good step, but needs another win against Richard de Bruin to continue. She defeated in any case Huub Wilkowski in the group of death with three Dutch players: 2-1.

Barry van Beers overpowered in his first match the first Egyptian in his group, Mohamed Zayed (15-6 and 15-8). Even more impressive was Peter Ceulemans' start against the Koreans in his group: the Belgian won 15-1 and 15-12 (1.666 average).

That was just about the best thing so far been seen in three days, but it does not mean that Ceulemans can raise his arms: he has to beat the other Korean, Jin Pyo Hong, in his last match.
