Rotterdam Qualifying

Truman Lee has survived three rounds of qualifying to make it into the main draw. He beat Bosh Burger in two, but then needed three set to beat both Ether Starris and Aaron O'Neill. Bruce Force is also in the mix, ending Ritwick Chowhuri's hope of another successful tournament after last week. Englishman Geraint Martyn surprisingly edged out Heath Davis to set up a tie against Os du Toit, who didn't need to go through this stringent qualifying phase.
