Grubba - Nguyen
21 - 15; 21 - 14; 21 - 12
Khoa failed to offer anything that would surprize his experienced opponent.
Chila - Butler
21 - 12; 21 - 13; 21 - 9
Jim was very nervous, missed his serve a number of times, couldn't quite figure out what to do.
Chen - P.Saive
14 - 21; 21 - 11; 19 - 21; 21 - 19; 13 - 21
Great match! Chen Xinhua was up 17 - 13 in the 3rd, but lost it at 19. At 20-13 in the 5th, Xinhua showed some unbelievable play as he started throwing lobs, jumping over the bariers, into the seats, missing the ball when he fell into the arms of Mr.Arthur Gilbert. First upset of the day.
Lindh - Cheng
21 - 15; 21 - 16; 18 - 21; 18 - 21; 21 - 17
Lindh was quicker, playing more aggressively, and finally pulling out this even match.
J-M Saive - Nguyen
21 - 13; 21 - 14; 21 - 18
Saive had too much power for Khoa to handle.
Waldner - Butler
21 - 18; 21 - 16; 21 - 14
Butler played better than he did in his first match, but not good enough to beat the great one.
Kim - P.Saive
15 - 21; 21 - 16; 18 - 21; 21 - 11; 21 - 12
Philippe Saive knew what to do with his opponent: he kept going to Kim Taek Soo's backhand. That strategy seemed to work for a while. In the 3rd game at 17-18, the umpire awarded a point to Saive because Kim failed to toss the ball 6". Kim was upset by this and the umpire gave him a warning for obusing equipment (racket). Kim lost the concentration and the game. In the fourth and fifth games, the spectators could see why Kim is #5 in the world.
Primorac - Cheng
18 - 21; 21 - 11; 21 - 11; 21 - 12
For Primorac, it was the first match of the day. He missed too much in the first game, but had no problem since.
J-M Saive - Grubba
13 - 21; 21 - 19; 16 - 21; 21 - 15; 20 - 22
Both players already secured the place in the quaterfinals, and had a great time on the court, showing us some fantastic exhibition elements. Both players wanted to win the fifth game, but Grubba was unstoppable today. The crowd went wild at the end of this match. Now Grubba gets #1 seed for day two.
Waldner - Chila
14 - 21; 21 - 14; 12 - 21; 21 - 17; 21 - 12
Waldner was playing just good enough to win this match.
Kim - Chen
21 - 14; 21 - 16; 21 - 18
No chance for great chopper Xinhua Chen, Kim Taek Soo's forhand is scary! Some great exhibition play from both players at the end of the match!
Primorac - Lindh
23 - 21; 21 - 12; 23 - 21
Zoran Primorac did not let anybody doubt that he is going to win this match.

Primorac - P.Saive 3 - 2
10 - 21; 21 - 18; 18 - 21; 21 - 11; 21 - 7
Philippe played very smart and very well. He avoided open loop exchange and did not let Primorac to attack. Primorac, on the other hand, was like a big train that needed time to get up to speed. Then he was unstoppable.

Kim - Saive 3 - 2
21 - 19; 18 - 21; 18 - 21; 21 - 16; 22 - 20
THE BEST MATCH OF THE DAY!!! Andrzej Grubba called this match "from the 21st Century". All five games were so close, the match went on for over an hour.
Final:
Primorac - Kim 3 - 1
21 - 18; 14 - 21; 21 - 19; 21 - 14
Primorac was flawless and Kim was a bit tired from the previous match, an hour break wasn't enough for him. Zoran becomes the first winner of the Gilbert Cup and sprayed the audience with champaigne.
