Over 300 pairs from 48 countries will participate in the event, among
which stand the Chinese pairs in both sexes, who swept the major
categories in the Hungarian Open Tournament, which wrapped up last
Saturday, according to the event’s official website.

In the Hungarian city of Budapest, Pereira and Campos, students at the
Köpping training center in Sweden, had a creditable performance, after
being among the first 16 pairs in a tournament where 351 players from 51
nations attended.

There, in singles, Moses had the best performance, after two wins and a
setback in the senior category, while he advanced to the quarterfinals of
the previous round-the under-21, with three wins and a loss.

Meanwhile, Andy could not get beyond the group stage, which was a modest
result, when after a win he was eliminated in the second game.

These two events will be an important training for the two Cuban
youngsters before the Latin American tournament in Brazil, which will
grant five tickets to the 2012 London Olympics.
