Ben Stockhammer/Jacob Kitzinger have reached the knockout stage of the men’s competition as well after recording a victory over Spanish opposition. The third Austrian team in the event, Theo Reiter and Timo Hammarberg lost three matches in a row without winning a single set.
Thomas Kunert“The young Timo and Theo played well as a team but unfortunately did not advance any further in this competition. However, we take the experience and lessons with us. Ben and Jacob have made it out of the group with their victory. Despite good tactics and good technique, Laurenz and Laurenc lost their last match in their pool.”

Marie Bruckner/Lina Hinteregger beat Slovakia to celebrate their first victory on home sand and reach the next phase of the competition.
Florian Schabbauer“It was a very successful day for us, since all teams have made it to the second round. Our very young team [Bruckner/Hinteregger] can take away good moments, team two [Rabitsch/Trailovic] has improved and they are performing very well. Klinger/Mitter rose to the occasion and claimed one victory today as well.”
