The sixth installment of the Dusseldorf Masters concluded over the weekend.

The Semifinals matched Benedikt Duda and Anton Kallberg and also Dang Qiu against Omar Assar.  Ultimately, Assar and Duda prevailed in the Semis with Duda winning the Final.

The two matches shown below include the Final with Duda upsetting the top seed, and the Qiu/Assar match.  The Qiu/Assar match is of particular interest because Qiu is the Dusseldorf Series points leader and because there were a couple controversial plays.  Additional video highlights from the Dusseldorf Masters IV can be found here at tischtennis.de.
