ITTF Pro Tour Polish Open - Good day for our paddlers
Ma Liang, Liu Zhong Ze and Sim Kai Xin Zena all enjoyed success on their 1st day of competition in Poland.

19 year old Ma Liang played well to defeat Barbolin Illia from Belarus. Ma Liang took the first 3 games with much ease, 11-4, 11-5, 11-7. However, the latter fought back in the 4th match winning by the slightest margin of 12-10. Ma Liang maintained his poise and took the last set, 11-3.

45mins later, there was great news for our paddlers again. Liu Zhong Ze overcame Swedish Soderlund Hampus in 6 games. He won 11-9, 9-11, 11-6, 11-5, 6-11, 14-12.

Meanwhile for Sim Kai Xin Zena, she showed her opponent that she was no pushover. Competing only in her second overseas Pro Tour, she beat Kucerova Aneta in straight games.

The Qualification matches will continue later today with Ma Liang facing Obeslo Michal, Liu Zhong Ze meeting Didukh Viktor and Zena taking on Skov Mie. This Denmark lady caused an upset against Yu Meng Yu last week in the German Open.

Feng Tianwei and Wang Yue Gu are the 1st and 2nd Seeds for this Open, whilst for Yu Meng Yu, she is the 1st Seed for the U21 Girls' Singles.
