In a decisive final-round duel for the title at the Europe Youth Top 10 in Tours, Nathan LAM of France claimed the gold medal in the Under 19 Boys’ Singles with a straight-games victory over Spain’s Daniel BERZOSA. The home favourite ended the event with eight wins and just one defeat. LAM’s key moment came in the closing match — the direct contest for the top spot — where he handled the pressure superbly to beat BERZOSA 4–0 (12–10, 11–8, 11–5, 11–9). The French player’s only loss came earlier in the tournament against England’s Connor GREEN, but he quickly recovered to dominate the remaining rounds, including a strong win over fellow countryman Marcel BLASZCZYK of Poland in Round 8. The Spaniard’s path to silver included commanding victories over Antoine NOIRAULT (4–1) and Marcel BLASZCZYK (4–1), as well as a remarkable seven-game battle against Samuel ARPAS in which he saved multiple match points to prevail 4–3 (17–15 in the decider). Connor GREEN of England secured the bronze after a strong closing day, finishing just behind the leading pair with six wins and three losses. GREEN, seeded seventh, produced several upsets — including victories over Nathan LAM (4–3) and Antoine NOIRAULT (4–2) — to earn a well-deserved place on the podium.

Nina GUO ZHENG of France emerged as the winner of the Under 19 Girls’ event at the Europe Youth Top 10 in Tours after nine intense rounds of competition. Last year’s bronze medallist climbed all the way to the top this time, finishing level in points with her compatriot Leana HOCHART, but taking gold thanks to her head-to-head victory in their thrilling seven-game opening-round clash. Romania’s Bianca MEI ROSU, consistently strong throughout the tournament, completed the podium in third place. It was a dream week for the host nation as both French players led the standings from start to finish. GUO ZHENG started her campaign in style, defeating HOCHART in a spectacular first-round duel (4–3), which ultimately decided the title. Despite dropping only one further match – against Czech representative Veronika POLAKOVA – Nina showed remarkable consistency, beating all other opponents with confidence. Her compatriot Leana HOCHART mirrored her performance, also winning eight of nine matches, but the early loss to Nina proved decisive. HOCHART’s wins over strong names such as Bianca MEI ROSU, Matilde PINTO, and Veronika POLAKOVA secured her the silver medal. Romania’s Bianca MEI ROSU, last year’s Under 19 European Champion, confirmed her quality again in Tours. She finished with seven wins and two losses. Her victories over POLAKOVA, PINTO, and TOKIC showed why she remains one of Europe’s most consistent young players. Behind the top three, Sara TOKIC of Slovenia impressed with a fourth-place finish, while Portugal’s Julia LEAL and Czechia’s Veronika POLAKOVA followed closely, each scoring four wins.

The podium was completed by Görkem ÖÇAL of Türkiye, who finished second, and Mark GERGELY of Hungary, who placed third. Kenan KAHRAMAN of Türkiye came close to a medal, finishing fourth by just one point. TREVISAN, who won gold in the Team and Doubles events and bronze in Singles at the EYC, showed solid and consistent form throughout the two days in Tours.

The European Under 15 Girls’ event at the Europe Youth Top 10 in Tours concluded with an superb triumph for Koharu ITAGAKI of Germany, who clinched the title in commanding fashion. The reigning European Under 15 champion completed a flawless 9–0 record across three days of competition, finishing ahead of 2023 European Under 13 champion Alexia NODIN of France and 2024 and 2023 European Under 15 champion Hanka KODET of Czechia. This result marks a powerful follow-up to ITAGAKI’s success at the European Youth Championships in Ostrava, where she captured gold in both the Team and Singles events, along with silver medals in Doubles and Mixed Doubles. Having finished second behind KODET in last year’s Top 10, the German talent has now reversed the script and firmly established herself as Europe’s dominant Under 15 player. In Tours, ITAGAKI’s consistency and mental strength stood out from the opening day. She began the campaign with a tough 4–3 victory over Poland’s Wanessa KULCZYCKA, surviving early danger before finding her rhythm. From there, she swept through the field all without dropping another match. In the final round, ITAGAKI sealed her perfect record with a determined 4–2 win over her familiar rival Hanka KODET, confirming her supremacy. Runner-up Alexia NODIN of France, one of the breakout stars of the event, finished with an excellent 8–1 record. She displayed brilliant form throughout, highlighted by wins over KODET and Austria’s Mariia LYTVYN, as well as a competitive performance against ITAGAKI in Round 3 where she took two games off the champion. Hanka KODET, last year’s Top 10 winner and two-time European champion, completed the podium with a 7–2 record. The Czech player produced solid victories over Nil BASARAN, Renata SHYPSHA, and Patricia STOICA, but was unable to repeat her dominance from 2024. Her defeats to NODIN and ITAGAKI proved decisive in the title race, though her consistency ensured another top-three finish in one of Europe’s toughest youth tournaments.
