Filip Radović once again showed that even at a young age he is already a legend of our sport, the great table tennis player after the bronze in Tokyo secured a new medal from the Paralympic Games in Paris.
The Montenegrin maestro in the match for a place in the semi-finals and secured at least a bronze medal from the Games in the City of Light beat the Chilean Manuel Ećaveguren - 11:6, 11:5, 13:11.
During the first two sets in Paris, there was no drama, our table tennis player took a 2:0 lead without a mistake, only to save the set ball in the third, and then deliver the final blow for a new medal around the neck.
Filip, as the second-placed player in the world ranking list, was free in the round of 10, while Ećavegurin, the tenth player in the world in the S3 category, eliminated Spaniard Jose Manuel Ruiz Rejes 1:XNUMX at the start.
His rival in the fight for the final (Tuesday) will be the fourth in the S10 category ranking list, the Chinese Lian Hao, who in the quarter-final was better than the Polish Igor Mištal 3:1, while the second semi-final will bring a replay of the match for the gold in Tokyo between the Polish Patrik Chojnowski and Frenchman Mateo Bohas.
