Norway Racketlon warmly welcomes players to Norway’s first international tournament, showcasing an impressive lineup. The men’s category is competitive, and the women’s draw features the top three players worldwide.
The world’s top 3 Battle for the Title
The women’s competition includes two groups. Group A consists of Anna-Klara Ahlmer, Stine Jacobsen, and Kaisu Anttila. Group B sees Myriam Enmer taking on Holly Ranson and Kirsten Kaptein. Jacobsen’s strong performance at the London Open in July proves she’s in great form. Both Jacobsen and Ahlmer have secured titles this season, while Enmer aims for her first title after reaching two finals. Ahlmer will take on Anttila in her first group match, and Enmer will start off against Holly Ranson. The women’s matches will start on Saturday.
Ternon leads the Men’s Draw
Sylvain Ternon, the men’s top seed, is a one of the players to watch this season. He’s reached the final in every tournament except the World Championships, where he lost to Luke Griffiths in a gummi-arm. Ternon aims for a second title and will meet either Windbacher or Duthuillé in his first match. A potential rematch between Malte Thyregod and Simon Vaclahovsky might occur in the quarter-finals, after their previous closely contested World Championships match. Fourth seed Mouchet faces the winner of Holden and Hedlund, while second seed Lenggenhager meets Pichler or Lorkiewicz in his first match. The men’s matches will start on Saturday.
Lenggenhager Leads in Mixed and Men’s Doubles
Nicolas Lenggenhager holds the top seed in mixed and men’s doubles. In men’s doubles, he partners with Anthony Duthuillé, and they are set to face Pichler/Windbacher or Lorkiewicz/Lorkiewicz. Ternon/Vaclahovsky are the second seeds, playing Holden/Holden or Jacobsen/Thyregod. Jacobsen and Thyregod could be dangerous, and they also compete in mixed doubles as the second seeds. They face the winner of Ranson/Pichler against Enmer/ Duthuillé. Lenggenhager teams up with Ahlmer and are favourites in the event. They face the winner of Kaptein/Lorkiewicz and Anttila/Carlier. The women’s doubles is headed by Ahlmer/Enmer, who narrowly missed out on a medal at the World Doubles Championships. They play Mai/Messina in their first match. Kaptein/Ranson are the second seeds, they play Finnish duo Anttila/ Mäkelä.
