Not a pleasant day for the host country, Latvia, as their star player Tatjana Vasiljeva suffered a defeat by the hands of reigning champion, Wendy Jans of Belgium.

Defending Champion, Wendy Jans of Belgium demonstrated excellence of game and produced four breaks in three frames to thrash out Nikoleta Nikolova of Bulgaria 3-0. Earlier in the tournament Wendy had been threatened by Siripaporn and had to struggle to wing. But today was another day. In the first frame itself Wendy’s breaks of 54 and 50 were enough indication to her opponent that the match would be a short one and she made it come true by producing two breaks of 32 and 31 points in successive frames to seal the match 3-0.

The Russian ace cueist Irina Gorbataya's match against Yana Shut of Belarus swung like a pendulum with both the players winning the alternate frames. Though Irina did have a chance in the fourth frame to close the proceedings but Yana ended the game and forced the decider to be laid on the green baize. The fifth frame was so fiercely fought that it all came down to the black ball and in the end it was Irina who held her nerves better and  potted the much needed black ball to win the match 3-2.
