After winning the Orleans Masters in March (Super 100), Toma Junior Popov did even stronger since for the first time in his career he was in the final of a Super 300 badminton tournament, the Masters of Spain in Huelva
This afternoon in 1/2, the Fosséen (43rd in the world, seeded 2) largely dominated the South Korean Lee (61st) in 2 sets: 21/7 and 21/10.
Tomorrow he will face the Indonesian Wardoyo (80th in the world) in the final.
On the other hand Tomi and his brother Christo (n ° 4) were eliminated tonight in 1/2 of the double against the Indonesian pair Kusumawardana & Rambitan (seeded n ° 5): 21/18 19/21 14/21
Note, still concerning the news of badminton, that the general assembly of the international federation today rejected very little the reform of the counting of the points which envisaged to pass to matches of 3 winning sets of 11 points instead. of 2 winning sets of 21 points.
