The European Championships. The final.

The European championships ended, and Italy reconfirmed title of champion. BTRUSSIA talked to players about results, organization and their experiences while staying in beautiful Eilat.

KarpenkoMaria Karpenko (RUSSIAN TEAM CAPTAIN): Guys did just great! They did incredible job and have made crazy progress: last year we were fighting for 3rd place, and this year we already tried to push out Italians. In the mixed we won, and on other draws showed great resistance. We have to move on and I guess we are close to become a champions!

Daria Churakova (RUSSIA): Eilat is a very nice place, there are many Russians on vacation, who showed interest and supported us! The tournament was tough due to the tight schedule of games. The organization was ok, especially souvenirs and cool winning trophies! I am very happy that we won the mixed! Been working on this for a long time, trained, thought, tried to break the difficulties and psychological barrier. We came ready for this championships mentally and physically, so we had the power to win! Also happy with the WD performance! Did everything, used all the chances! Also happy with the second place of Russian team in the team event. I think it's cool! And we are going to be better!

Chypakova Kirgizova

Ekaterina Kirgizova (RUSSIA): This is the first time I won a bronze medal at the European Championships with my partner. We are very happy with the result and we are going to continue to fight, to train more. For our team, in my opinion, this is the best euro championships, which I visited, because in every draw we have medals: bronze in women and men doubles and gold in the mixed doubles, this is an excellent result. I think next year will finally be able to catching up with Italy so they will have to fight for the medals hard.

MateoMarigellaMatteo Marighella (ITALY): We are very happy for the men double! What about organization - something was good and something not (like time for the final, the first day without room in the hotel) but ok. We tried ourselves in the double mix but Nikita played unbelievable. It was good experience for us and the second title of the season for me and Cappelletti!

KypcovSergey Kuptsov (RUSSIA): In my opinion, the result was predictable, we were 3rd seeded and we confirmed our status in this tournament. But of course, we always want to jump over head, and after Moscow we felt that is possible. Maybe we overestimated the situation in the semifinals, and perhaps it didn’t give us to show the best results. We lost to MD that had won at the World Championships and at the European Championships, so our opponents were worthy, but despite this we showed the best result in the Russian men's beach tennis. We are very satisfied and happy, despite the 3rd place.

The organization of the tournament was at a high level, visible support from the government and municipalities. Friendly people, great food, we were lucky with the weather. The quality of the courts could be better, but it's good that no one got hurt, and we went through this championships at one go.

Kyptcov-Byrmakin

CimattiSofia Cimatti (ITALY): Me and Chicca are really happy for this final in season. The final was really strong, we lost the first set 6:0 and the situation was really bad. But then we started to play better together and made a good job in the final of the match.

The organization for my opinion was very good, the only thing - the schedule of the finals…it's incredible in this competition to play at the same time the finals of women and men. Hard to decide for the spectators and fans which match to watch. And for our players too: the team needs support, and we couldn’t do this because of this schedule. But overall, very good organization and very nice place!

Chyrakova byrmakin

Nikita Burmakin (RUSSIA): We happy to be here, as well as the best players of Italy – Champions of Italy, Champions of the World. Therefore, there is really high status of competitions. I’m happy we were able to beat the best players in mixed but also to win over an incredible heat. In the last two days we spent 6 difficult games and managed to show our best tennis in the most important moments. I think during our games – the end of the final was the best, and we are very happy with result!
