We have been extremely delighted to receive results from Greece for the first time for months. Players in Thessaloniki were glad to host Austria's Alfred Strommer for some good games. 8 players attended the event and Ilias Galanopoulos defeated Thanasis Giaglis in the final (6-3). Alfred Strommer and 

Nikos Giotlis were the unlucky semi-finalists.
