His opponent Mark Lebedev pays tribute to the semi-final opponents especially after the recent defeats, “We have no fear. At the last meeting Bühl beat us deservedly. We did not play our best game, the Bühl have been better. We still have that in our mind, it motivates us to make every effort to show our strongest power.”
