Polcanova Reaches Quarterfinals at the Europe Top 16 Tournament

Sofia Polcanova successfully began the Europe Top-16 tournament in Montreux. The 29-year-old Austrian confidently defeated the Ukrainian Solomiya Brateyko 3:0 (8,9,10) in the round of 16 on Friday, advancing to the quarterfinals.

Habesohn Out

The tournament start was less fortunate for Daniel Habesohn. The 38-year-old Viennese was clearly defeated by the French European champion Alexis Lebrun with 0:3 (8,1,9) and thus was eliminated from the competition.

Quarterfinal Duel on Saturday

Polcanova will face the winner of the match between the Polish Natalia Bajor and the German Sabine Winter in the round of the last eight on Saturday (2:45 PM). The Upper Austrian, seeded number two, has already won two silver and three bronze medals at the second most important European table tennis tournament. In Montreux on Lake Geneva, she is now aiming for her first title.
