In Junior Boys Doubles Cristian PLETEA of Romania and Irvin BERTRAND of France are safely through to the Round of 16 in the Junior Boys Doubls Event at the 2018 STAG European Youth Championships. They prevailed against Radim BAKO and Tomas MARTINKO of Czech Republic.

 

For the place in the quarterfinal they will meet Cedric MEISSNER of Germany and Patrik JUHASZ of Hungary. They beat Dimitrije LEVAJAC and Nemanja DILAS of Serbia.

 

“So far for the double I managed to play really good with BERTRAND yesterday. Today in the first 3 sets I can say I had an average game, after that I came back; the footwork started to work well and I felt a bit better. I hope that in next matches I will play better and better,” said PLETEA.
