In the Men’s Singles, Green (WR 259) got through the first round with relative ease against lower-ranked Maxime Antoine Michard of France to set up a tie against Leonardo Iizuka (WR 122) of Brazil, the 10th seed.

Green twice led the match but was pegged back each time, missing out on two match points at 10-8 in the fourth, which Iizuka took 12-10.

But Green recovered from that disappointment to lead all the way in the decider, going 4-0 and 8-3 up and taking it 11-6 to set up a last-16 tie against Germany’s Kay Stumper (WR 107), the seventh seed.

Having lost the first game 11-8, Green hit back with three points in a row at the end of the second, winning it 11-9. A run of five points from 5-4 down in the third then set the platform to win it 11-7 and move in front. The fourth saw both players lead, but it was Green who got to 10 first and although he couldn’t take his first match point, he took the second.

Tom Jarvis (WR 68) had a bye into the last 32, where he defeated qualifier David Szantosi of Hungary, recovering a 2-1 deficit to win 3-2 – 11-8 in the decider.

He next played 14th seed Lin Yen-Chun (WR 146) of Chinese Taipei and it turned into a dramatic match. Jarvis saved two game points in the first before losing it 13-11, but he hit back as he was never behind in the second or third, which he won 7 and 9.

From 8-8 in the fourth, Lin won the next three points to level the match, but Jarvis steadily pulled ahead in the decider to bring up six match points. Four were saved, but Jarvis finally took his chance, letting out a bellow as he completed victory.

Sam Walker (WR 221) was knocked out in the Round of 64 in five games by Mihai Bobocica of Italy (WR 206).

In the Women’s Singles, having got past Katarina Strazar of the host nation in three straight in the Round of 64, Ho was up against Lea Rakovac of Croatia in the last 32.

Ho (WR 181) edged a tight first 11-9 and then led throughout the second, taking it 11-7.

The third saw Ho fight back from 6-2 down to level at 8-8 and from then on, both players traded chances to win the game. Ho saved five game points and missed two match points before Rakovac finally clinched the game 18-16.

When she then took the first three points of the fourth game, it look as if the momentum might shift, but Ho fought back and five points in a row to go 8-4 up put her back in charge and she went on to take the game and the match.

Her opponent in the last 16 was Japanese 15th seed Kotomi Omoda (WR 131), and Ho was unfortunate to miss out in three close games.

Ho had four chances to win the first game, and also saved two game points before her opponent eventually won it 17-15. The second saw Omoda always in front in winning 11-7, but Ho was in front 9-7 in the third before Omoda won the next four points to seal her quarter-final place.

In the doubles competitions, WTT Feeder Dusseldorf champions Green & Ho kept up their good form as they won through two rounds against Slovenian and Indian opponents to reach the semi-finals.

Seeded second, they will face Brin Vovk Petrovski & Sara Tokic of the host nation in the last four.

In the Men’s Doubles, Green & Walker lost out in three to Japanese fourth seeds Kazuki Hamada & Kanta Tokuda in the first round.
