Dimitrij Ovtcharov, who is enjoying the home game, praises the talented young player Andre Bertelsmeier, even though he himself beat him 3-0 in the first round.

A look at recent decisions

On November 5, 2023, Lin Yun-Ju had already made a splash when he won the men's singles title by defeating three-time world champion Ma Long of China 4-1.
