Despite their first-time presence in the final the Portuguese team delivered an exceptional performance demonstrating a remarkable level of skill and composure. “The opening match between Dinis and Julian was very close and I initially struggled after losing the first game. However I managed to regain my rhythm from the second game. The doubles match against the Austrians posed a big challenge but Carlos GONÇALVES played exceptionally well and propelled us towards victory. It was crucial to adopt an aggressive approach against the Austrians and prevent them from gaining control. They punished any passive strategies ” shared Tiago ABIODUN who remains unbeaten in the Championships.

Taking home the bronze medals were France with Thibault PORET Flavien COTON Hugo DESCHAMPS and Alexis KOURAICHI and Germany with Tom SCHWEIGER Andre BERTELSMEIER Matthias DANZER and Wim VERDONSCHOT. The pivotal clash that determined the outcome of the match was the intense duel between Darius MOVILEANU and Simon BELIK. Darius found himself match point down but managed to mount a remarkable comeback ultimately winning the five-game duel. “I have faced BELIK many times before with victories and defeats on both sides. I knew beating him would be challenging and I had to give my all for every single ball. The match was incredibly close and the match point I encountered in the decisive game is a testament to that. However that victory paved the way for our success here ” said Darius. Throughout the knockout stage Romania demonstrated their prowess by securing convincing 3-0 victories over Israel Croatia and France. “While we maintained a flawless record we encountered several challenges. The match against France was particularly tough. However for me the most demanding match aside from the final was our encounter with Spain during the group stage ” shared MOVILEANU. Eduard IONESCU has been in exceptional form this season. Just a few weeks ago he showed his talent by defeating numerous top-ranked seniors including Dimitrij OVTCHAROV at the European Games. Now he continues to shine in his own age category. “This final was incredibly demanding. We did not anticipate facing Czechia today. Darius’s achievements were crucial providing us with a significant boost and relieving much of the pressure on me during the second match ” added IONESCU. Iulian CHIRITA commended their adversaries acknowledging their strength as a team. “They proved to be an incredibly strong team forcing us to perform at our absolute best.
