No luck for Locals in Linkoping
No upsets on day one of the 2014 edition of the CASE Swedish
Open, and no joy either for the four Swedes in action at the
Linkoping Sports Centre.
Top seeds Mathieu Castagnet and Chris Simpson
were both stretched though, Frenchman Castagnet needing all
five games to end the challenge of Mohamed Abouelghar, and
Simpson winning a tough four/game mach against Sweden's
former Frenchman Romain Tenant.
Of the other Swedish hopefuls, Christian Drakenberg
lost out in four games to Shaun Le Roux, while
Carl Remle and Aryan Ahmed both lost out in
straight games against much higher/ranked opponents.
Fans can look forward to four very tough qualifying finals
tomorrow, with seven of the eight players ranked inside the
world's top forty.
