history

Another world cup tournament started with surprises. It caught two seeded players in the first main round, Frédéric Caudron and Semih Saygıner . The first round was different for Torbjörn Blomdahl . After he was eliminated in the first round of the last two World Cup tournaments, this time he started with the best game of the World Cup year so far. When he won the set 3-0 with 15: 1, 15: 7 and 15: 3, Tonny Carlsen didn't have the slightest chance of winning. Blomdahl played safely through to the final against Roland Forthomme . Here he was defeated by 0: 3 sets. With this, the Belgian secured his second World Cup victory.
