The Super 300 tournament has been a remarkable journey for Europeans, culminating in three singles player and a duo from Europe reaching the finals.
Out of six semi-finals featuring European players, those not advancing to the finals have still made a significant achievement, earning valuable points and a well-deserved bronze medal. Today's matches provided memorable moments.
In an all-European showdown, Bulgaria's Gabriela and Stefani Stoeva overcame France's Margot Lambert/ Anne Tran. Avenging their last autumn defeat at the HYLO Open, the Stoeva sisters triumphed in straight games, 21-14 21-18.
The path to success wasn't straightforward for other Europeans. Dane Mia Blichfeldt emerged victorious after a tough battle against Canada’s Michelle Li, winning 21-13, 18-21, 21-10. Similarly, Dane Rasmus Gemke clinched victory over China’s Zhao Jun Peng in a closely contested match, 21-15, 17-21, 21-19.
An all-European final is set with Gemke going up against France’s Christo Popov, who secured his finals spot by defeating Korea’s Jeon Hyeok Jin 21-17, 11-21, 21-11, promising an unmissable match.
