Official Statement

After his victory against Japan’s Masataka MORIZONO in the Round of 32, World number 5 & 5th seed, Timo BOLL was scheduled to face off with Korea’s JANG Woojin in the Round of 16. The German legend, unfortunately, fell ill with a fever and had to pull out of the Men’s Singles Event. He will, however, try his best to recover in time for his Men’s Doubles match with Patrick FRANZISKA.

With Boll’s withdrawal, the bottom half of the draw has now become even more open especially since China’s XU Xin lost against Simon GAUZY on the previous match day. It will be interesting to see how the action progress after this unfortunate news.
