D3 for LU

Stanich's opponent, Russia's Dzhandubaev who fared better against Kazakstan's Zhenissov (6-0) than he did against Iran's TATHASHTIKEH (hung on at the end, 10-9) He has length & strength... unless he lungs-out against Luke's pace. It will be an interesting semifinal between them. D3

Just watched Stanich's match vs the Italian... tough match! Nini was leading 3-1 in the 2nd until Luke scored his TD to take the criteria. Fended off Nini's shots towards the end. D3
