A week ago, the Dusseldorf Masters event was absent big names, and the younger players dominated – a real surprise.  This Sunday is the fourth event (of seven) and Ovtcharov tops a list of stars that includes Germany’s top player Dimitrij Ovtcharov, 2020 Dusseldorf Masters Champion Dang Qiu, Africa’s top player Omar Assar, and North America’s top player Kanak Jha.

Action starts Sunday early (10a in Germany / 4a Eastern US).   For those interested in following Kanak Jha, he is set to play points leader Cedric Meissner at 10:30a.

Current Point Totals:  Meissner 70, Oehme 60, Stumper 50, Ovtcharov 50, Kallberg 50, Duda 30, Assar 30.
