Darko Jorgić secured a dominant victory in the initial round of Group 13 against New Zealander Timothy Choi, winning 3:0 (3, 7, 3). This was his first appearance at the World Cup, and he convincingly overcame his eight-year-old opponent. The Hrastnik player demonstrated a superior level of play, particularly against An Jaehyun, whom he faced in Macau the previous year.
Like last year, Jorgić achieved success, ultimately placing him in 16th position among the tournament’s top players. Initially, Jorgić established a lead of 9:5 in the first set, only to be countered by Jaehyun with four consecutive points. The final set was intensely contested, with the 16th ranked player maintaining his focus and preventing a dramatic shift in momentum.
The second set was entirely in his favor, secured through a remarkable run of seven consecutive points, confirming his victory. This new year’s performance showcased his skill and determination.
