OPEN EUROPEAN. Alexander Blockx met “Heb alles gegeven” in the opening round, Zizou Bergs in the eighth final

“I don’t understand everything yet,” Blockx told Afloop. “It wasn't my best wedding, but it wasn't my best either. I'm sure I did everything I could to test the winners. My service was good, but the problem was not resolved. That means I've never played. I played a perfect wedding game. My service caused me problems and put me under constant pressure. This is a big challenge for the Challengertoernooien: I have to decide here for a while.”
