The two semifinals were really close and Anderssons win over Dorr with 3-0 was much tougher than a “3-0” win looks. Ranefur fought down the finnish flash Naumi to claim his spot in the final.
In the final it was really tight between the two players who knows each other very well and have played one another many times before. This time it was Ranefurs time to be the victor. 3-1 in set and a great win for the powerful swede.
CONGRATULATIONS ELIAS!
