It was a really even match where Möregårdh took home the first set before Harimoto then won two straight. But after that, Möregårdh turned it around and won 3–2 in sets.

A really tough match. All the sets were even. I'm very happy about the win, says Möregårdh in the broadcast according to SVT.

He continues:

I felt a little nervous because I really want to play here again in front of this fantastic audience.

In the quarterfinals, Xiang Peng from China awaits. He defeated Frenchman Felix Lebrun 3–1 in sets.

With the win, Möregårdh got revenge against Harimoto. The two met in the Olympic Games in Paris this summer in the semifinals of the team competition. Then, it was Harimoto who won 3–1. However, Sweden won the match and got to play the final.

For Anton Källberg, who was the big hero in the end, it stopped in the round of 16 in Peking. He fell in a tight five-setter against sixth-seeded Chinese player Lin Shidong.
