ÖTV sports director Jürgen Melzer saw his protégé Joel Schwärzler as an outsider before the final of the U16 European Championship against Martin Landaluce from Spain, who was in first place, but still gave the 16-year-old an outsider chance. And Schwärzler used this in an impressive way. Because the left-hander defeated Landaluce 6: 4 and 6: 4.
Remarkable: throughout the course of the tournament, Schwärzler, who has been training in Südstadt for a year, has not lost a single set. The freshly crowned European champion started as number five in the event held in Prerov, Czech Republic.
