In the Under-15 Boys’ Singles at the 2024 Europe Youth Top 10 in Grodzisk Mazowiecki Poland Danilo FASO of Italy finished Day 2 at the top of the standings remaining unbeaten in the CAIIS Sports and Entertainment Hall.

However the day ended with both ÖÇAL and TREVISAN losing their matches: Sandro CAVAILLE defeated ÖÇAL while Samuel MICHNA overcame TREVISAN.

Meanwhile top-seeded Robert Alexandru ISTRATE of Romania secured a win over Slovakia’s Pavol KOKAVEC earlier in the day but then lost to Samuel MICHNA and later to Aleks PAKULA adding to the two defeats he suffered on Day 1.
