Austrians Left
Gerhard Hager reports
Top seed Aqeel Rehman despatched Robbie Temple to keep home
hopes alive in Vienna, taking advantage of a lapse in concentration
from the Englishman who got too involved with the referee.
 Rehmen
meets South African Stephen Coppinger in the semis. Coppinger
was in full control of his match against local wild-card Stefan
Brauneis.
The second semi will be contested between Ricky Davis and the
second Austrian Andreas Fuchs, who took revenge for his loss
in last week's Austrian closed championships to beat Jakob
Dirnberger in four games. |
