In the first match, Pang defeated Korean Teenager Lee Seung Yeop in a intense 5 game duel, however, Choi Deok Hwa levelled the score by overcoming Clarence by the same margin. In the doubles match, Xue Jie and Clarence were no match for Lee Seung Yeop and Choi Deok Hwa. Pang Xue Jie once again won another point for Singapore by beating Choi Deok Hwa in straight games. But Clarence was unable to withold the pressure. He faltered against Lee Seung Yeop.

Against Korea Team 2, our young boys held the upper hand. Xue Jie took the first point by ousting out Lee Hyeon Seok, 3-1. Clarence then lost the next point to Cho Jae Jun after stretching the game to the full 5 set distance. Our boys managed to maintain their poise and clinch the next 2 points from doubles Park Sang Min/Cho Jae Jun and singles against Cho Jae Jun.
