In Class 6 of the Orthopes, in MD14, Marios Hadjikyriakos and George Mouhthi were ranked 5-6 by Podgorica’s ITTF World Para Challenger and showed clearly that they were also able to enter the medals.
The twin, who has been successfully working for many years, first passed the qualifying phase with second place from his group. On Saturday he fought in the quarter-finals and was eliminated in a 3-0 “full” set.
Recall that Thursday, Mukthi took the bronze medal in the simple class 6, while Hadjikyriakos had finished 5-8.
The Challenger Events ITTF presents them “as races of increased competition with stronger tournaments and higher challenges”. There are also Future Events, which are “a starting point for rising talents in international competitions” and elite events, “the biggest matches that bring together the world’s leading athletes.”
Hadjikyriakos and Mukhi first competed in the third and final group of Men’s Doubles Class MD14. They had two wins and one defeat and qualified for the dashboard as second.
They paid Douro Krivokapits/Pietro Palieusevic from Montenegro with a 3-0 set (11-4, 11-1, 11-3) and the Spanish Gabriel Alvaret Dieth/Alejandro Diath with the same score (11-7, 18-16, 11-2) (11-13, 4-11, 9-11). The first two were qualified for each group, so the pairs in the knockout were six and there were two “bye”.
On Saturday, in the quarter -finals, 2019 teammates in 2019 met the Polish Madurz/Marcin Zielinsky, who had also advanced the second from the first group. They were 3-0 set, but they were perfectly competitive throughout the match, even in the start of the start to overturn 2-9, but in the extension they saw their opponents get some lucky points (14-16, 6-11, 8-11).
