Croatia’s Roko Tosic is better ranked than Adam Robertson of Wales and was 2-1 ahead after three games.
Furthermore, the Welshman was sick the whole week; he had serious problems with his digestion, couldn’t sleep well and has survived mainly on water.
Nevertheless the twenty-four year old did not give up and overcame Tosic in a spectacular match.
Crucial Tip from the Coach
"I couldn’t find the power to score the points", Robertson said about the beginning of the match, "then the coach told me to take the ball earlier".
Obviously it worked well, but Tosic is a player that can score the points from everywhere. "He is one of the best players away from the table", Robertson praised his opponent.
