Liu and Herczig finding the way

Zagreb, Croatia, 18 March 2001. In January they came into the ITTF Pro Tour Kenshoen Grand Finals taken as substitutes because they were nr. 9 on the Pro Tour standings – this year they already took some long steps towards the next Grand Finals.

In England they reached the quarterfinals, in Qatar the semi-finals and in Zagreb LIU Jia and Judit HERCZIG (AUT) are in another semi-final in women’s doubles. In the quarterfinals they beat Nicole STRUSE/Elke SCHALL (GER) 2-0, and since they are already nr. 3 on the Pro Tour standings  2001 looks good for them. In the semi-final they will meet Ni Xia Lian/Peggy Regenwetter (LUX).

The other semi-final will be a matter between NIU Jianfeng/BAI Yang (CHN) and TAKEDA Akiko/Mayu KAWAGOE (JPN).
