Jakub KLEPRLIK set the hosts on the right track with a win over Roberta FLORAS but PARK Jeongwoo had different plans.

Bartosz MAJCHER the coach of Global Pharma Orlicz Suchedniow expressed his satisfaction stating “I am very happy with the result because we played an excellent match. The 3-1 win is an important step to the next round but we know we have one more game to play against a tough adversary. I believed that PARK Joengwoo would secure two points; he is the leader of our team. And Piotr CYRNEK’s win is not a surprise for me either. He plays very well in the Polish league with an unpleasant style that can surprise opponents. As I said I am very satisfied.” TT Club Ostrava 2016 – KS GLOBAL PHARMA ORLICZ 1924 Suchedniów 1-3 Jakub KLEPRLIK – Robert FLORAS 3-1 (11-6 5-11 11-8 11-8) Khalid ASSAR – PARK Jeongwoo 0-3 (7-11 6-11 13-15) Adam KLAJBER – Piotr CYRNEK 0-3 (10-12 10-12 9-11) Jakub KLEPRLIK – PARK Jeongwoo 0-3 (9-11 9-11 8-11)
