Only Bertil Walli (M65) and Lars Ekholm (M60) continue in the main draw. Risto Kumpulainen (M60) and Hannu Haanpää (M45) were kicked out from the main draws in three games by the kiwis. Nalle Parmonen (M40) had a good fight in a 70 mins match taking the fourth game 9-1 and leading the fifth 5-1, but then after a long rally Jonathan Leach (NZL) got again the control after a couple of risky and lucky shots. In M50 main draw plate there are four Finns playing on Wednesday.

Observations and comments
In the case that you wonder from what country does Tomi’s opponent come from (IMN), it is Isle of Man.
