ITAGAKI Dominates to Win Under 15 Girls title at Europe Youth Top 10 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.
