Despite a draw that required Timo Boll to tackle German teammate Benedikt Duda early (winning 4-3 in the Round of 16), and Dusseldorf teammate Anton Kallberg in the quarterfinals, and top seed Mattias Falck in the semifinals, it was Boll that cruised most of the way.  When Boll faced Dimitrij Ovtcharov in the Final, it was all Boll – with tight games but a 4-1 dominant performance.  Boll first, Ovtcharov second – a combination that bodes well for Germany in Tokyo.  And for Boll, individually – his eighth European Championship in Men’s Singles.  *See the full article from ButterflyOnline here:
