After Hurghada there was another surprise in Barendrecht by a qualifier. Frédéric Caudron, who returned to the finals, was defeated by his compatriot Eddy Merckx with 1: 3 sets. Merckx was also the best player in the tournament and played the best general average (GD) and the best individual average (BED). With his second place, Caudron improved his chances of overall World Cup victory in 2005 considerably. The Koreans playing in the final round made for strong performances. For the first time, Choi Jae-dong managed to win a set in one recording.
