After a slow start nothing could stop the young Korean player, Kim Taehyun. Kim could after the group stage really let loose and let his forehand and backhand rip. Beating the “impossible” Tom Jarvis in the semifinal was just the first step. Not long after the win in the semis he beat Simon Arvidsson again, for the second time this Thursday.
A great win for a young speedy korean player.
CONGRATS KIM TAEHYUN!
