Who will win?
Many of the European Circuit stars will be aiming to kick-start their new year with a medal in Estonia. The men’s singles main draw looks promising, with Alex Lanier defending the title, second seeded Victor Svendsen facing Joran Kweekel in the first round, and reigning champion Kristin Kuuba looking to win her second gold on home soil.
Estonia have another chance at a medal in the women’s doubles with Kati-Kreet Marran/ Helina Rüütel. We had no European men’s doubles medallists last year, but Joshua Magee/ Paul Reynolds and William Kryger Boe/ Christian Faust Kjaer could get to the podium in this edition.
