Saarbrücken / Germany: At the international badminton tournament in the “BWF World Tour Super 300” category, Olympian Collins Valentine Filimon won this afternoon in the first round of the main competition against Tharun Mannepalli from India. The Austrian is now in the round of 16 and will face No. 6 Nhat Nguyen from Ireland tomorrow. The ÖBV women’s doubles Serena Au Yeong and Anna Hagspiel are also in the round of 16 and will face a top-seeded duo from Germany tomorrow!
Collins Valentine Filimon keeps his nerve in 2 sentences:
After a successful start in the qualification against Valentin Singer from France, Collins Valentine Filimon (world ranking position 133) was able to move into the main field of the tournament yesterday. Today he continues his success and shows a confident performance against the better placed Tharun Mannepalli from India (WRL No. 83). In the first set, neither player initially managed to break away and a close game between the ÖBV athlete and his counterpart emerged early on. At the break, Collins Valentine Filimon was 10:11 behind, but then had a good phase and scored several points in a row. Although it gets close again towards the end, the Austrian retains the upper hand and narrowly wins the first set.
The Austrian started strong in the second set and was able to pull away to 6:1. However, the Indian finds his way back into the game and an exciting exchange of blows with spectacular rallies develops. Shortly before the end of the set, Mannepalli was in the lead with 19:17, but Filimon showed strong nerves and won the last four points – a sensational victory and a deserved place in the round of 16. The duel against Nhat Nguyen (IRL) [6.] will take place tomorrow, Thursday October 31st, 2024.
