With a multitude of good hits, and excellent performance of princesses, Prince won by the score 16: 2, which put The Prince to the semifinals. In the semifinals, the Prince welcomed The Challengers from Switzerland. Ready to play, having more standard players than on Saturday, the Prince won 16: 0. Effort and will, paid off and Princ successfully returned to the top, one step away from winning the tournament. In the finals, the Princess was waited by New Bologna.
