The University Stadium received 34 teams from 16 countries, a record number of participants. A lot of players have positions in current ATP and WTA rankings.

 

After more that 200 matches, the new European champions were known this Saturday. In male final, the title went to Kozminski who won Zagreb University by 2-0, in a very competitive game. In female final the title went to Leonard Da Vinci who won Moscow by 3-0.
