Confidence success in AMSTETTEN
In the year October 19, 2024 Lower Austria Badminton Association’s most popular and strong tournament series ‘Little-Five-Tour’ was held at Johann-Polz-Halle Amstetten Badminton Modeling in mixed doubles and newcomer Julian Brown at the start of men’s singles.
Reka and her doubles partner Michael Rupp of VRC Vienna played strongly from the start, defeating Ella and her partner Maximilian Gaber in two exciting games as part of the Modlger duel in the first round.
They also won the remaining two games clearly and reached the semi-finals undefeated in what were generally impressive performances.
Thanks to their dynamic, consistent and varied play, the first set went clear and safe to Reka and Michi at 21:16, leading them into the second set, but they were hit with a disappointing loss shortly after match point. His opponents, who had a lot of regular tournament experience, knew how to use it immediately, so despite a quick comeback in the 3rd set, the game eventually went to the runners-up.
In the minor finals, Reka and Michi fortunately returned to their former form, played with great focus and goal-oriented play, adjusted well against their defensive opponents, and eventually regained their confidence to take third place in two sets.
Conclusion: Excellent, warm, well organized and recommendable tournament at ATUS Amstetten – badminton in a fun and sporty atmosphere – we want to come back!
Congratulations to first-timer Julian Brown who won the men’s singles straight away, his first of the season, there will likely be many more.
The next edition of the ‘Little Five Tour’ will take place on November 30th in Ybbs an der Donau – we are expecting a lot of fun games with the participation of Modeller!
