European table tennis champion Sofia Polcanova reached the quarterfinals of this high-class series for the first time on Friday at the $300,000 Champions Event in Incheon, South Korea, with a 3-0 (8, 7, 7) win against Brazilian Bruna Takahashi (number 17).
“Great! Sofia’s 14-day training camp in China paid off,” said the sports director of the Austrian Table Tennis Association (ÖTTV), Stefan Fegerl. But a huge hurdle now awaits in the round of the best eight: the Chinese Wang Yidi is the clear favorite on Saturday as number three in the world.
