WR - Acs is on the top of mixed doubles again
May brought the second stop of the 2025 Teqball World Series in Dezhou, China. Simultaneously, the Challenger Teqball League continued in Grindsted, Denmark where athletes battled for FITEQ World Ranking points and titles. As the third event added to May's WR points, the Teqball Open - T10 Setubal gathered multiple next-generation talents. Meanwhile, the expiration of the Teqball Tour points from Los Angeles - valid for only two years - triggered notable shifts in the global rankings, causing former points to be wiped from the board and slight changes.
Let's start with the obvious: if the FITEQ World Ranking leader of men's singles since 2022 October is on a historical winning streak of 76 victories and already won three international Teqball competitions this year, including two Teqball World Series, do not expect many changes on the top. However, as the runner-up from WTCH2024, Nikola Mitro (SRB) started to focus more on the singles, he is now in 5th place taking over the world bronze medallist Hugo Rabeux (FRA). His partner with whom they won the world title in doubles three times, Bogdan Marojevic also jumped ahead by one spot and moved back Martin Csereklye (HUN). Balazs Katz (HUN), Stefan Orlovsky (POL), Soma Cseri (HUN), and Balazs Imreh (HUN) both experience the circumstances of their great performance in May. Yet, with the bronze medal in Dezhou, the current world champion in MD, Jirati Chanliang (THA) is the mover of the month (+93) and now has the 39th place.
Mire Faeno Dahlmann (DEN) is the lone mover in women's singles in May. Her 4th place in the Challenger Teqball League Grindsted granted the 31st position (+5).
Marek Pokwap (POL) won the MVP award after being sensational in Dezhou and triumphed both in men's doubles and mixed doubles. In the first category, he leapfrogged by three reaching the 4th spot. His clubmate, Gyorgydeak followed him to the 8th (+1). Gergo Dombai (HUN) & Cseri wrote history by reaching the final in China. Their silver medal put him in the 22nd position (+10). The young gun, Milan Csabi (HUN) finished on the lowest tier of the podium with Orlovsky. Csabi moved ahead to the 33rd (+10) while the Polish prodigy starts June at the 44th position (+28).
Krisztina Acs's performance in Dezhou (silver medal) was enough to regain the leading spot in mixed doubles. Kinga Barabasi swapped positions with Gyorgydeak after her victory at the latest TWS and now the 6th. Pokwap broke into the top 10 by moving ahead with two and now the 8th. Sorrasak Thaosiri finished fifth and became the mover of the category in 2025 May with 10 positions up until the 28th.
In women's doubles, Acs also jumped ahead, this time to the 3rd place by pushing back her compatriot, Petra Pechy to the 4th place. Besides this move, the changes only happened because of the expiration of the TT Los Angeles event from 2023.
June will once again cause most likely bigger and more moves due to the amount of action awaiting the Teqball world. Summer kicks off in Ibiza with the upcoming stop of the Challenger Teqball League, then on the same weekend, the Tier VI. event, the Phoenix Teqball Cup - Balatonfenyves will take place. The very next week, the restructured Adriatic Teqball League starts in Ohrid, North Macedonia. The newest international tournament, the GÓBÉK Teqball Tournament in Odorheiu Secuiesc also debuts from June 20 to 22. The last weekend of June will also be full of Teqball. Another Tier IV. competition, the Canadian Teqball Tournament gives opportunities to the North American continent's best while Monaco hosts the month's last CTL rendez-vous.
