Super World Tour Event in Istanbul - Swiss success in all categories

26 Juin 2025

The Super World Tour event in Istanbul is one of the most prestigious tournaments on the Racketlon calendar and awards the most world ranking points after the World Championships and the World Tour Finals. From 6 to 8 June 2025, the international elite met there for the SWT Inventist Racketlon Open.

Nicolas Lenggenhager (SUI) produced the best Swiss result in the elite men's field: after a commanding performance, he advanced to the semi-finals, where he lost to the eventual tournament winner Sylvain Ternon (FRA, WR 2). Ternon defeated the world number 1 Leon Griffiths (GBR) in the high-class final with +2 points and was crowned champion. The young Swiss Andreas Kotala failed in the round of 16 and finished the tournament in 10th place.

Adeline Kilchenmann (SUI) put in a strong performance in the women's event and secured the bronze medal in the international top field.

The Swiss colours also shone in the doubles competitions: In the men's doubles, Nicolas Lenggenhager and his Danish partner Malte Thyregod reached the final, where they were only narrowly beaten by the top duo Griffiths/Böhm. In the women's doubles, Adeline Kilchenmann played her way into the final alongside Kirsten Kaptein (NED), but was defeated by Enmer/Lenggenhager.

The mixed doubles final was an all-Swiss affair with both sides involved: Nicolas Lenggenhager won together with Myriam Enmer (FRA) against the duo Adeline Kilchenmann / Bastian Böhm (GER).

There were also strong Swiss results in the age and amateur categories: Graham King took the silver medal in both the men's C category and the senior 45+ category. Marc-André Rauber came third in the Seniors 55+ category.

The complete results for all categories are available online here.

The tournament in Istanbul was therefore not only a top-class sporting event, but also extremely successful from a Swiss perspective.
