history

After many disappointments in recent years, Raymond Ceulemans is making an impressive return to this World Cup season. After his victory in Paris, he won his second tournament and took the lead in the overall World Cup. Only against his worst opponent of the last twenty years, Nobuaki Kobayashi , he had to tremble in the round of 16 after a 2-0 set deficit. Ceulemans won the next three sets with 15:10, 15:13 and 15:13. Ceulemans won against the outstanding player of recent years Torbjörn Blomdahl with a class performance of 3: 2 sets and a very good average of 2,240 . In the final there was a smooth 3-0 win against Richard Bitalis, who played very well this year .
