Koreans now head the seeding in the Men’s Singles event at the GAC GROUP 2012 ITTF World Tour Brazil Open which starts in Santos on Wednesday 13th June.

Joo Saehyuk, Oh Sangeun and Ryu Seungmin occupy the respective top three seeded places in the draw, with Portugal’s Marcos Freitas the fourth seed. Emmanuel Lebesson is the fifth seed followed by Belgium’s Jean-Michel Saive and the host nation duo of Cazuo Matsumoto and Gustavo Tsuboi.

The change is as a result of the withdrawal of the leading Japanese men: Jun Mizutani, Seiya Kishikawa and Koki Niwa.
