Unfortunately Nadiezda Kostyuczyk can’t join with Poland team this year. So Kamilla Augustyn will replace her at Mixed Doubles partnering with Robert Mateusiak. And this has side effect which Kamilla couldn’t play for Women’s Singles and lost point from this sector. Michal and Robert also separate themselves in Men’s Doubles. But I think that’s not a big deal because their younger player, Wojciech Sudlarczyk need more experiences.

As the backbone of Bulgaria , Petya Nedelcheva and Diana Dimova did their jobs very well. They played not only in their main sector, Women’s Singles. Olympic 2008 quarterfinalist, Ville Lang must work hard in 30 minutes tight match before gives 1 point to his country.

With most of their experience players like Yao Jie, Judith Meulendijks, Eric Pang and Pauline Van Dooremalen no worries for Netherland to sweep away 5 points. Yao Jie, Judith and Pauline also play very good in doubles. Otherwise, Austrian player, Juergen Koch can’t join his team this year so Peter Zauner should be ‘the only’ main player for Asutria.

An easy task for Germany to dust off Slovakia with their full team. As Xu Huaiwen, Juliane Schenk, and Birgit Overzier in the women’s team and Marc Zwibler, Johannes Schoettler, Michal Fuchs, and Ingo Kindervater at the men’s side no wonder that they’ll through to quarterfinal later. Not an interesting match because these 2 teams has different level of players. Unfortunately two Olympic players from Slovenia , Maja Tvrdy and Eva Sadekova can’t join with their team.

MD : Andrew Bowman/Watson Briggs beat Martyn Lewis/Mathew Hughes 21-19, 21-19.
WD : Imogen Bankier/Jillie Cooper beat Harriet Johnson/Kerry Ann Sheppard 21-11, 21-10.

Naturalization player from Indonesia , Irwansyah, stole 1 point from Scotland to his country. But most experience players such as Imogen Bankier, Susan Hughes, and Andrew Bowman helps Scotland to win their 1st match.

England beat Czech Republic 5-0
