Peter Jensen, Media & Communication Manager Polish party not over yet Warsaw, Poland, 16 November 2002. The two Polish heroes Lucjan BLASZCZYK and Tomasz KRZEZEWSKI both disappointingly lost in the Men’s Singles, but in the Men’s Doubles they are still alive – playing the semi-finals on Saturday evening against the top seeded pair MA Lin /KONG Linghui (CHN) The Polish pair is still in In the quarter finals the home crowd saw the Polish pair struggling a bit against a pair created for the occasion, Werner SCHLAGER (AUT) and young Dane Michael MAZE. SCHLAGER and MAZE never played together before, but with MAZE being a lefthander they have adapted to each other very quickly. They also took the first game before the Polish woke up. BLASZCZYK/KRZEZEWSKI however went to 2-1 and from then they were in control. They took the match 4-2. The European Champions Timo BOLL/Zoltan FEJER-KONNERTH (GER) needed a good result in Warsaw to qualify for the Grand Finals. They were close to get it. They had the lead 1-0, 2-1 and 3-2 but the Chinese evened to 3-3 and in the 7th game they won 11-9. In the semi-finals WANG and QIN will meet Danny HEISTER/Trinko KEEN (NED).
