Francesco TREVISAN of Italy has been flawless so far at the Europe Youth Top 10 in Tours, recording six wins from six matches in the Under 15 Boys’ event after two days of play.
The Italian player started day two by surviving a seven-game thriller against Germany’s Lukas WANG, before moving on to more confident wins over Jonas RINDERER of Germany and Jan MRUGALA of Poland.
Turkey’s no. 1 seed Görkem ÖÇAL suffered his first defeat of the tournament, dropping to second position, but remains firmly in contention alongside his teammate Kenan KAHRAMAN.
ÖÇAL endured a dramatic start to the day when he fell to England’s Abraham SELLADO. SELLADO raced to a 3–0 lead before ÖÇAL clawed back to level the match, only for the English player to finish strongly in the decider. Despite that setback, the Turkish star recovered quickly, defeating WANG in straight games and later beating RINDERER in a tight six-set duel. His resilience ensured that he stays in the title race.
Meanwhile, Kenan KAHRAMAN, seeded no. 7, has been one of the surprise stories of the tournament. He edged no. 4 seed MRUGALA of Poland in an epic seven-game battle, saving himself with a 14–12 finish in the decider. He went on to add further victories against Hungary’s Lenard SZABO and Mark GERGELY, proving his growing strength in Tours and establishing himself as a serious contender.
