FIC 2009
At the third tournament in a row I didn´t manage to get in the last sixteen...
Although the Finnish International Championships was my best performance from the last three tournaments, still I didn´t break at least between the last 16 players of the tournament. This time I had a good draw when I had to play against Valeriy Atrashchenkov. The match between me and this Ukrainian player was equal and we played 3 sets but it was eventually him, who took the victory 21:18 in the third game...
This match was not bad and I played quite well, just what I was hitting milimetres outside the court, the opponent was hitting on the lines. It feels like I was not meant to win this time.
