The junior girl’s title of the Hungarian Junior Premium open was won by a young 17 year old player Dora Madarasz from the host nation Hungary. The final of the single junior girl’s event was contested on the 3rd of April 2011.
Dora was the runners up in the 2010 European Youth Championship. She was the number two seeded player of the event. The championship was the first Premium Junior International Table Tennis Federation ITTF event of the year. It was Bernadette Szocs from Romania
who faced defeat against her.
Bernadette was the favourite in the competition; she was the top seeded player of the event, having a junior ITTF title at Czech Republic earlier this year. This time she lost against Dora in a five game match 11-9, 11-3, 8-11, 11-9, 11-6.
Dora commented that.”I am very happy that I was able to win our tournament I dedicate my victory to the Hungarian spectators and table tennis fans.”
It was the second time Dora contested at her home town in the ITTF junior circuit. This time she went a step ahead and won the title. Last time when she played at her home town, she ended winning the silver medal in 2009, Hungarian Junior Open. She faced
defeat from the Japanese player Misaki Morizono in the final hurdle.
The Hungarian girls team coach Zsuzsanna Olah said “Dora was in very good physical condition, it gave her self confidence.”
