In the girls’ Under 13 category Poland 2 defeated Poland 1 on the first day of the Greek Open.

On the opening day of play at the Europe Youth Series tournament in Loutraki Corinthia champions of tommorow from various parts of Europe showed their skills offering a taste of the thrilling moments to come in the 2nd Europe Youth tournament in Greece.

The 3rd ETTU tournament of the year 2024 included the team event groups. Sixty-four kids from 6 countries are giving their all vying for honors with their primary goal being qualification for the final stage. Generally the top two favorites secured victories with only one exception: Poland 2 against Poland 1 in the girls’ Under 13 category.

Despite starting from the 5th place in seeding the second team from Poland comprising Natasza RUDOLF and Lena PUZIO overcame Poland 1 the 2nd favorites 2-1.

This result leaves Poland’s first team (Julia ZALEWSKA and Lucja KOBOSZ) out of the final despite their top position in the rankings having lost 2-1 to Romania in the evening.

“We were not surprised by the victory of our second Under 13 girls’ team against the first team. We came to Greece with two equally strong teams. The four girls do not train together because they belong to different clubs but they often compete against each other ” Polish national team coach Alan WOS commented to ETTU and added: “We are participating in the Greek Open with many athletes and of course we are aiming for gold medals. I think we have a sufficient number of participations in international tournaments and through them we aim to steadily improve.”

The second day of tournament features only team events. All four team finals will be held on Friday at 18:15 while the singles groups will begin at 09:00 on the same day.
