Few thought world number four Möregårdh would have any trouble beating 83rd-ranked Freitas. The match also started well for the Swede, who took the first set.
Then the problems began for Möregårdh, who lost three straight sets and missed his chance to advance in the tournament. The final scores were 11–9, 9–11, 9–11, 4–11.
The players met in the quarterfinals of the European Top 16 last year, when Truls Möregårdh won in straight sets.
Anton Källberg also advanced to the round of 16 earlier on Friday, where he was defeated by Germany's Benedikt Duda.
