2026 European Individual Championships Ljubljana 11 October - 18 October

[Gozo Zyreruna]

7th set, here we go... allez allez allez!

 

[J-fed]

The Russian seems to need to go to a final set. Bizarre

 

[kindof99]

to forehand then backhand, and Kaufmann will win. Not backhand first, Abraamian's step around is good.

 

[backspacer]

How did Kaufmann win that set?

As the frog would say, its a robbery!!

They robbed each other lol

 

[d3nium]

The Russian's brutal forehand got her through.

 

[Takkyu_wa_inochi]

Abramian short serve and short push are amazing. She totally dominated the short game, this was the key to clinch the title.

 

[Gozo Zyreruna]

and the new Queen is crowned...

 

[kindof99]

Kaufmann played too much to the middle and backhand of Abraamian, who does not have good backhand but protect the backhand side quite well. Wondering why for the last several points she did not play more to the forehand first.

 

[zeio]

What will happen at the award ceremony if Abraamian wins gold?

Abraamian's max quality is higher than most, that is what Kaufmann was struggling with more with than anything else. I don't think it was a strategy problem as much as a difficulty of execution. Hopefully Abraamian can stay healthy playing that way, usually players like that get injured easily and frequently.

Queen Elisabeth of Russia, lmao.

Kallberg in peak form, gotta admit.

Felix still has a long way to go. Has to learn to keep his cool.

 

[Haito]

Natalia Bajor won gold <3

 

[NextLevel]

Kallberg is pushing a lot of long serves that look short into the net. If he fixes that, he has a chance.

PS: I am sure Maze told him, he took more half longs in that game 5.

 

[latej]

F**K ETTU for now showing Russia flag... Soon they will be in prison!

 

[Metaxa]

A Russian woman winning a European championship. Everyone put down their weapons now!

Game 7 was just unplayable.
