Fedor Gorst showed his class as a championship candidate when he played impressively, winning 4-2 in set 1, taking a 1-0 lead. However, in the remaining 2 games, he was no longer himself when he lost consecutively and accepted a 1-2 defeat. With this result, the Russian player was forced to leave the game early.

Meanwhile, Albin Ouschan (Austria) defeated Juan Carlos Exposito (Spain) 2-1. Ouschan's compatriot Mario He also defeated Cristopher Tevez (Peru) 2-0. The Filipino players continued to show good form as Jeffrey Prieto, Kyle Amoroto and Raymund Faraon all won, while Anthony Raga was awarded the win after Ralf Souquet (Germany) retired.
