On Tuesday, the first round of the singles tournament Kungens Kanna & Drottningens Pris was completed, and only one Swedish player stands strong and is ready for the second round; Rebecca Malmström (KLTK) is the final hope for Sweden in this TE Super Category Tournament. She faces hard-hitting left-hander Joyce Geng from Canada on Wednesday.
Another possible top-notch match is the incredibly hard-hitting Ukrainian Sofia Kryvoruchko against Barbara Kostecka from Poland (note that Kostecka led Poland to the final of the European Championships).
On the boys’ side, Swedish number one Knut Andersch (Vallda TK) meets fourth-seeded Savva Rybkin; this is a potential great match to look forward to.
Another duel to keep an eye on is Oliver Wennerstad (SALK) against sixth-seeded Filip Ladman from the Czech Republic. Can Oliver come up with the goods again?
Let us not neglect the doubles tournament with, among others, home players William Kjellberg (KLTK) and Vincent Almroth (Båstad TS) in the second round.
A fun ending on Wednesday for all players will be the traditional Players Party in the restaurant from 18:30-21:00. Music, Tacos and one of the best magicians in town; see you then!
