Great emotions on day 3 in Frankfurt

Have fun with the trial mobile

Around 130 local students were able to get a taste of table tennis today at the Schools Day. Regardless of whether it was a ball bucket, a round table, a mini table, table tennis on benches or training on the robot: the boys and girls got their money’s worth in table tennis on site. 28 players took part in a student-teacher tournament in the afternoon.

Qiu and Walther tomorrow in the round of 16 in the Infinity Arena

A day full of top table tennis awaits visitors again tomorrow. It starts with world number one Wang Chuqin against Olympic silver medalist Anton Källberg. At 3:20 p.m., Ricardo Walther can play in front of his home crowd against the multiple African champion Quadri Aruna (Nigeria), who knocked Tomokazu Harimoto (Japan) out of the tournament on Monday. Former Dang Qiu will end the day against defending champion Lin Yun-Ju from Taiwan at 8:30 p.m. Only on Wednesday will it be the turn of European Championship runner-up Benedikt Duda, who faces a high hurdle in the form of world number two Lin Shidong (China).
