Europeans Shine at VICTOR Croatian International
The VICTOR Croatian International 2024 concluded yesterday, showcasing a strong performance from European athletes, many of whom secured multiple medals.
In a change from the women’s doubles to the women’s singles, Stefani Stoeva excelled in this event, winning a bronze medal after impressive victories, including a notable win against top seed Heli Neiman. Unfortunately, her journey ended in the semifinals, where she faced Raksha Kandasamy from India.
Although the singles titles were claimed by non-European competitors, European players made their mark in the finals. Charles Fouyn from Belgium and Leona Lee from England finished as runners-up in the men’s and women’s singles, respectively.
Mihajlo Tomic from Serbia, known for his outstanding mixed doubles performances with Andjela Vitman, not only captured the mixed doubles title but also triumphed in men’s doubles alongside Viktor Petrovic.
Additionally, Jonathan Dresp from Germany had a successful tournament, earning silver medals in both mixed doubles with Lara Kaepplein and men’s doubles with Aaron Sonnenschein.
