The Irish player has defeated Julien Carraggi in the Round of 16 in an all-European clash.

Prior to this match, Nguyen, seeded eighth in this tournament, led the head-to-head 3-0 against Carraggi. In today’s match, competing for a spot in the quarterfinals, Nguyen dominated the first game from the start, winning 21-5. Carraggi entered the second game with improvement, taking an early lead. However, Nguyen quickly caught up, tying the score at 5-5. The game remained close until 9-9, after which Nguyen took control, gradually extending his lead and closing the game 21-14.

Nguyen reached the quarterfinals at a Super 300 level last year – at the Hylo Open, Orléans Masters, and German Open, but he hasn't advanced further since 2023. Will tomorrow be the day he moves on to the semifinals, securing a podium finish?

To achieve this, he must defeat Indonesia’s Alwi Farhan, who has defeated the second-seeded Ng Ka Long Angus in a three-game match today. It was a good day for Farhan, but will he have as much energy tomorrow? Farhan and Nguyen have never faced each other before, and they are closely ranked in the world ranking – the Indonesian player is currently 45th while Nguyen is 42nd.
