Dutch Eagle 1,208 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 John Michael (Yannis Michail) and German based Veniamin Symeonidis managed to progress to the European Q(ualifying) Schools final stage. In order to get a Tourcard for 2021 the Greeks must win one of the 4 days. To win a day you need 7 straight wins as there are 128 contenders. The four winners of each day get a card. 8 other players get a card based on the Order of Merit. The rules for that Order is simple: every win in the four days earns you a point. The eight players that have the most points without winning a single day qualify. Therefore reaching the quarterfinals on two days must be sufficient to get that card. In the UK there is a similar tournament. And also 12 cards to win.

Dutch Eagle 1,208 Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 Day one was not good at all. Both Greeks lost 6-3. Tomorrow is another day with opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Eagle 1,208 Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Day 2. Symeonidis was eliminated in round one (last 128). Michael did much better. He won his first three rounds to be eliminated in the round of 16. Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Eagle 1,208 Posted February 16 Author Share Posted February 16 Day 3. Can’t find Symeonidis on the scoreboard. Could be a withdrawl. John Michael had a very good day as he reached the semifinal. He was beaten by the winner of the day. Tomorrow is the last day. A win is enough. And otherwise a quarterfinal might be enough too, but that is depending of the results of the other players too. Fingers crossed. Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Eagle 1,208 Posted February 17 Author Share Posted February 17 What a good day for Greek sports! After Tsitsipas conquered over Nadal, now Michael reached the last 32 and received a tourcard.
