How it was won

Félix Lebrun won the European men's singles title in Ljubljana, two years after his brother Alexis won it in Linz, and Elizabet Abraamian became the first qualifier to win the women's title.

Lebrun, the top seed, trailed Sweden's Anton Källberg 3-2 in the final and won the last two games 11-6, 11-1. "I played the best game of my life in the last one," he told the ETTU. A day earlier the Lebrun brothers had kept their men's doubles title, beating Källberg and Kristian Karlsson 3-2. France's Léo de Nodrest, seeded 67th, became the first men's qualifier to reach the semi-finals since qualification groups began in 2012.

Abraamian, seeded 35th, beat Germany's Annett Kaufmann 4-3 in the last match of the championships. Kaufmann led 10-8 in the fifth game, but Abraamian won it 12-10 and took the seventh 11-6. Both had already played a seven-game semi-final that day. France's Prithika Pavade, who knocked out the top seed, Sabine Winter, took bronze with Nina Mittelham.

Germany's Benedikt Duda and Mittelham won the mixed doubles, and Slovakia's Tatiana Kukulkova and Poland's Natalia Bajor the women's doubles. France topped the medal table with six medals.
