The first month of the summer brought multiple Tier IV and one from Tier VI. events and filled every weekend of June with Teqball action. The points of the 2023 Teqball Tour - Los Angeles have been deducted, which caused only a few changes in the top 10 of the FITEQ World Ranking, but the risers in the midfield managed their opportunities well.

The month started in Spain with the Challenger Teqball League – Ibiza. On the same weekend, the Phoenix Teqball Cup – Balatonfenyves provided matches for the lower-seeded athletes. With 2025’s first Adriatic Teqball League stop in Ohrid and with the GOBEK Teqball Tournament – Szekelyudvarhely, June continued. Last weekend saw two additional Tier IV. events. The first international Teqball event in North America in 2025, the Canadian Teqball Tournament and the sixth tournament of CTL, this time, Monaco hosted the competition.

Although the athletes of men’s singles competed in four events, the ranking remained quiet. The biggest riser (+22) is Milan Zsibok (CAN), who got his first international trophy on home turf in front of his family, beating another jumper confidently, Aaron Servin (MEX). Zsibok broke into the top 50 and is currently the 48th. The Danish dynamite, Saxe Paarup-Clausen, with his silver medal in Ibiza, also reached the first half of 100 by jumping four positions ahead to the 50th.

Amelie Julian finished June with five medals. One silver is in women’s singles from the GOBEK Teqball Tournament – Szekelyudvarhely, where she finished behind the European champion and three-time world bronze medallist, Kinga Barabasi (ROU). The world bronze medallist Frenchwoman leapfrogged the 2021 ’Queen of Teqball’, Anna Izsak (HUN), and is now fourth. The category's biggest winner is Kindall Kaufmann (USA,) who, just like Zsibok, got her first international Teqball triumph in Canada after beating Stephanie Brito in the final. This earned her the 23rd position (+20). 

Gabriella Kota (HUN), who still recovers from an ankle injury, dropped back in women’s doubles after her points from Los Angeles had been wiped and fell back to 7th place (-2). Izsak had a great month in WD, first she won along with Krisztina Acs (HUN) in Ibiza, causing the tournament’s biggest surprise by beating Barabasi/Julien in the gold game, then finished third in Monaco with Elonora Cunsolo (ITA). This performance granted her the 47th position (+29). The Slovakian Adriana Kecerova has never been that high in the FITEQ World Ranking of women’s doubles. Her 37th spot (+12) is the best ever in her career. She earned this with two 4th places at the CTL events.

The world silver medallist (2017) veteran, Arpad Sipos (HUN), still has it. In Ibiza, he and Izsak finished 4t, then in Monaco, they were stopped in the semifinal, granting them the 5th place. These results gave him enough points to jump ahead to the 47th rank (+12) in mixed doubles. The Polish duo, Ewa Kaminska, Patryk Kaminski finished 5th in Monaco and 3rd in Ibiza. This makes them the second biggest jumpers (+10), to the 44th place.

Meet Marek Pokwap in the latest episode of Heroes of Teqball.

Apor Gyorgydeak experienced his first loss with Marek Pokwap in men’s doubles this season. In Monaco, they finished with the silver, but in Odorheiu Secuiesc and in Ibiza, they won. With these points, he is now the 7th, taking over the three-time world champion, Bogdan Marojevic (SRB). Frankie Diaz (USA) lost 14 spots after the removal of the points of LA. The Kuwaitis, Zaid Eidan and Abdulwahab Alqattan reached historical heights at CTL – Ibiza after advancing to their first international Teqball final. While Eidan became the 42nd (+6), Alqattan is now the 37th (+3).

Although July starts with a two-week break of Teqbal, it will just as packed with action as June was, or some would say, even more. The first event will be held in Slovakia with the Teqball Youth Cup – Zilina, then the second stop of the Adriatic Teqball League will be organised, this time in Bar, Montenegro. Brazil hosts this year’s second and third international Teqball event in South America. At the same weekend, the Teqball Youth Cup – Parana and the Teqball Open – Parana will be held. The seventh CTL stop comes in Funchal, Portugal, then 2025’s first Teqball Tour brings action to the tables in the home of the sport, Budapest, Hungary.
