Sofia Polcanova triumphs and grabs after the first title in Montreux!

Montreux, Schweiz - The starting signal for the European top 16 tournament in Montreux was excited! Sofia Polcanova, the Austrian European Table Tennis Champion, prevailed on Friday in the round of 16 with an impressive 3-0 victory (8, 9, 10) against the Ukrainian Solomiya Brateyko. The 29-year-old Upper Austrian moves into the quarter-finals and has her goal in mind: The first title in Montreux, after twice silver and three times bronze in the past, as krone.at reports.

The mood in Switzerland could not be better, as Polcanova will be on Saturday at 2:45 p.m. against the winner of the game between Polish Natalia Bajor and the German Sabine Winter. While Polcanova triumphed in the first round, her compatriot Daniel Habessohn had to pack his suitcases. The 38-year-old table tennis routinier found no means against French European champion Alexis Lebrun and lost 0: 3 (8, 1, 9). This ensured an early exit from the competition, such as vienna.at reported.

The tension in the Europa-TOP-16 tournament remains so high, and the performance of Polcanova gives hope for further exciting games and possible medals for Austria.
