HARD TO FORGET

During the last months Jan-Ove
WALDNER has lost two times to the young Chinese MA Lin. In the first round
in men’s singles at the Grand Finals WALDNER finally had the victory in
his pocket – but MA slipped away surviving five match points and winning
the 7th game 12-10.
It will be a difficult one to
forget for WALDNER. The Swede seemed fit and focused, and he really pushed
MA Lin to the edge. WALDNER had 1-0 and 2-1. The match was evened at 3-3.
In the last decisive game WALDNER
went to 8-2 and 10-5 – but then he stopped taking chances and MA Lin won
7 points in a row to take the match.
