Truls Möregårdh was a big favorite against Cho Dae-seon – ranked 67th in the world.
The Swede showed directly why and took home the first set with ease, 11–5. The second set became a more even story, 12–10, before the Swede again showed proof of his superiority and won the third set with 11–4.
What does Möregårdh then think about his chances of reaching all the way to the final?
I will give it a try. There are always tough matches. I just hope I can continue to maintain this level. Then it will be tough for my opponents, he says in the victory interview.
Möregårdh will now face another South Korean – An Jae-Hyun – in the quarterfinals on Friday. An Jae-Hyun impressed in his round of 16 when he knocked out world third Tomokazu Harimoto with 3–2 in sets.
