In Mens Singles, Marian managed to score a fantastic 7th place by winning 2 of the 4 matches that he played. He won an exciting and a close match against a star youngster from Upper Austria to make it to the top 8 and modelled an excellent example of patience and mental strength. Himanshu on the other hand had to satisfy with the 24th place in his first Elite Tournament with no wins but a lucky walkover in one of his games.
