Success of the youth team

Aurora Hrovatin - winner of the regional primary school competition (Gorenjska, Postojna, Nova Gorica, Koper), grades 5–9, in Gorizia on May 6, 2026.

After a slightly slow start (nerves, pressure – or perhaps too much eagerness), she regrouped and began to show the level of play seen in training. With solid serves and quite good returns, she gradually took full control of the match. After her first win (2:1), she relaxed and defeated all the following opponents 2:0, except for the last one (2:1), when she already knew she had qualified for the next stage.

She received great moral support (clearly with positive effect) from her friend and teammate Lejla.

Also in the next round (semifinal), despite being in worse form that day, she managed to qualify for the final, thus placing among the top eight in Slovenia.

In the final (Griže, 25 May 2026) – another success. Despite being among the youngest (and with only one year of training), she competed among the eight best primary school girls from grades 6 to 9 and achieved an excellent 4th place (just 1 point short of a bronze medal).
