During the second day of the tournament and the first day of the main draw were seen many nice matches.
In men’s single, tournament number 1. Petr Koukal from Czech Republic did the first round without any problems and beat Ben Beckman from England, he also got over the second round when he met Lahnsteiner from Austria. Scott Evans from Ireland showed also nice badminton and got to quaterfinals.

Nice match was also seen when Soren Gravholt from Denmark was charming on the court, he send home seed no.3 Stephan Wojcikiewitcz from Canada after three sets 21-14, 11-21, 21-13, and in next round he beat Kaveh Muhrabi from Iran, again in three sets (21-13, 12-21, 21-19). Given the fact that he had to come through qualification ordeal yesterday, there should be no doubt about his form. Another Danish player Rune Ulsing came through the from qualification up to quarter-finals, beating Kristian Mitdgaard in tough three games on the way (17-21, 21-12, 21-14).

Most surprises occured in mixed doubles – Seed no.1 Dmytro Zavadsky/Mariya Diptan lost rather easily to unseeded pair Christian John Skovgaard/Maria Helsbol (12-21, 15-21) – Skovgaard working really hard through the match for the win. Other seeded pairs were also mostly unsuccessful - the only seeded pair in play remains seed no.2 Zvonimir Durknijak/Stasa Poznanovic from Croatia.

In women doubles, the first four seeded pairs confirmed their ranking in the first round, but in the next only the first (Malgorzate Kerdelska/Agniezska Wojtkowska) and second (Maria Helsbol/Anne Skelbaek) seeded pairs came through to quartefinals.

Kristína Ludíková, Czech player, seed no.1 in women’s singles, did reach the quarterfinals as expected, same as the second seed Sayali Gokhale from India.

Another big surprise occured at the second round of Men’s doubles. Jurgen Koch/Peter Zauner, seed no.1, having a first round bye, stepped on court against already warmed up Welsh pair Matthew Hughes/Martyn Lewis. The Welsh pair showed very nice and fast badminton and won the match.
