9 Competitions, 25 Tables, 100 Players, 185 Entries

 

That is the result of the Riha Open 2015. From WSA’s point of view the tournament is a big success. In the early morning (9 a.m.) the first table tennis enthusiasts started in the tournament which lasts until 8 p.m. and finished with the open single competition.

 

The traditional Viennese club ASKÖ Komperdell was the club with most participating players in the tournament. All in all they had 12 participants. Like in the last tournament the competition until 1500 points had the most entries, closely followed by the newly introduced competition until 950 points.

 

In the open singles competition the winner was the same like last time. At the 10th Club WSA “Fassl”-Tournament he won against Daniel Lung. This time his opponent was Martin Guman. But Alex Chen, the two times winner in a row could, not be beaten and reaches the number one place again.

 

The doubles until 2000 points was dominated by ASKÖ Komperdell. They entered the competition with 3 doubles which were all on the podium in the end.

 

This time the organizers used the whole WSA sports hall for the tournament and provided almost professional-like circumstances on the 25 tables.

 

Also the participant’s feedback was very positive.

 

“I think we can be very happy with this tournament. We only had some small delays in the beginning but then the complete tournament ran very fluent. The Werner Schlager Academy saw very thrilling and high-class matches during the whole day. It is great that we reached the 100 player border with this tournament. We will use this result as a basis and hope for even more players in the next tournaments”, was the positive conclusion of Fabian Becker, tournament organizer.

 

The next WSA tournament will take place on April, 26^th 2015.
