The qualifications have started today. (have a look at http://www.swissopen.com/english/aktuell/wettkampf.php?showpublic=true) In mixed doubles, Yim Bang Eun and Lee Kyung Won nearly got knocked out by a polish pair yet again!! Seems like the Poles must have found their weakness somehow!
It was Mateusiak/Kostiuczyk who won in AE qualifying against YIM Bang Eun and LEE Kyung Won. This time (Swiss Open qualifying) the Koreans won against the other Polish MX pair - Logosz/Augustyn. Mateusiak/Kostiuczyk are now to play the Taipei pair to enter the main draw. AE was the first tournament where Polish are playing also MX except MD and LD. I think Mateusiak/Kostiuczyk should be succesful and enter MX top twenty in the nearest future. regards dzgdz
Yes, I saw it wasn't the same pair but they probably exchange their tactics! These polish players are already world class in WD and MD, they might well be MX pairs to follow seriously in the near future...
The WS title holder of The 2005 USA SCBA international :BEENHAKKER Brenda of NED lost to a korean double player KOR KIM Mi Young. I also want to know if MEULENDIJKS and DE WIT have retired!I have never found they play a match after olympics games 2004.
De Wit has (for now) and Meulendijks had a serious injury (think it was an achilles or ACL) and still has to make a comeback ...
