Polcanova fights for her first title in Montreux!

Montreux, Schweiz - The table tennis world looks at Montreux, where Sofia Polcanova started impressively in the European top-16 tournament on Friday. The 29-year-old Austrian triumphed in the round of 16 against the Ukrainian Solomiya Brateyko with a clear 3-0 victory (8, 9, 10) and thus secured the place in the quarter-finals. Polcanova, who has won twice silver and three times bronze in this prestigious tournament, is pursuing her first title this season. In the quarter -finals she will meet the winner of the game between Polish Natalia Bajor and German Sabine Winter on Saturday at 2:45 p.m.

In contrast, the tournament start for Daniel Habesohn was anything but gratifying. The 38-year-old Viennese had to give up 0: 3 (8, 1, 9) to the French European champion Alexis Lebrun and thus eliminated the competition. The challenges in such an important competition as the Europa-TOP-16 tournament are high, and for Habesohn, who wanted to prove himself against competing players in the round of 16, this dream ended early.

The further developments in the tournament are eagerly awaited, since Polcanova now enters the decisive phase. As krone.at , the competition will be strong, but the Upper Austrian player has already proven that she has what it takes to play in the top league. The fans are looking forward to their next performances and wish their good luck on their way to the title.
