WTCH25 – The program of the final day is ready, as two powerhouses took the bronze medals in mixed doubles

Day 4 of the World Teqball Championships was all about mixed doubles. The morning started with the group matches, then by sundown, the last finalists joined the schedule on Sunday.

The heavy favourites (Thailand, Hungary, Brazil) did not let the betting sites down and qualified in the first place without losing a set with ease. 

The winner of the last two editions, Suphawadi Wongkhamchan/Phakpong Dejaroen, confidently beat team Austria in the Round of 16 and Japan in the Quarterfinals to meet with Hungary in the semis. Petra Pechy/Adam Blazsovics started with Germany and beat Poland with the same results: 2:0. In the very anticipated Semifinal, Thailand showed its force that already brought so many titles and finished off the Europeans in two one-sided sets.

The home team, Kinga Barabasi/Apor Gyorgydeak, are two-time world bronze medallists, and one of their goals at the World Teqball Championships 2025 is to take the throne with the help of the local crowd. On Saturday, they did everything well in the quest. Neither France nor Serbia nor Brazil stood a chance against them, with Brazil finishing as third. 

The final day of WTCH25 starts at 5:30 PM (EET) with the golden game of women’s singles. Jutatip Kuntatong (THA) did not lose in Bangkok and showed no signs of weakness in Odorheiu Secuiesc. However, the European champion and multiple world bronze medallist, Kinga Barabasi (ROU), will have an extra “player” on the field as a full house is expected.

Right after that, Kuntatong “stays” at the table as women’s doubles come. Wongkhamchan and her have never lost a game in their career, and just like in 2024 & 2023, they will face team Hungary for the gold. Petra Pechy/Nora Vicsek faced the Asian in Bangkok but could not stop them. With this triumph, Wongkhamchan would lead the all-time list of world titles.

The ‘King of Teqball’ reached the final of men’s singles and has every possibility to defend his title. Gyorgydeak will enjoy the same atmosphere as Barabasi. His opponent is last year’s runner-up, Nikola Mitro. They met three times, and the Serbian has never beaten the two-time world champ. 

Whatever the outcome will be, Mitro will have a second chance to return home with a gold medal. In men’s doubles, he and Bogdan Marojevic will step to the table against Sorrasak Thaosiri/Jirati Chanliang (THA). The sides fought three times against each other, and the current title holders have never found a solution against the three-time world champion Europeans.

As the last action of the World Teqball Championships 2025, the final of mixed doubles brings goose bumps, surely. Romania versus Thailand, in Odorheiu Secuiesc. Both units have won two matches each so far, and their fifth career meeting will decide the title of the world championship.
