After the women’s competition, the men’s doubles were set to conclude the Teqball tournament, one that will always be remembered. 18 teams competed for the medals and glory.

In the group stages, almost everything went according to the odds: the favourites like Nikola Mitro & Bogdan Marojevic (Serbia), Csaba Banyik & Balazs Katz (Hungary), Hugo Rabeux & Lionel Beyer (France), Adrian Duszak & Marek Pokwap (Poland), and Petr Bubniak & Lukas Flaks (Czech Republic) all solved the matches without losing a set, only the duo of Apor Gyorgydeak and Szabolcs Ilyes from Romania lost one against the Armenians, Gor Sargsyan and Rafayel Vardanyan.

The Hungarians allowed the fewest points with 10 and continued to dominate in the quarterfinals, where the Ukrainian twosome of Dmytro Shevchuk and Oleh Usychenko only scored 8 against them. Mitro and Marojevic conceded even less (6) against the Armenian unit, while Gyorgydeak/Ilyes also won in two. The closest matchup was France vs Poland in the jam-packed arena. In three, very close sets, the home side advanced to the top4.

Mitro & Marojevic with multiple headshot smashes won the first period by one, and although the Romanians fought well, they could not stop the world champions to qualify for the final.

The Polish wunderkind, Pokwap and the new European champion silver medallist in men's singles, Adrian Duszak has been stopped by Hungary. Although the match started on the 1st of July, was finished the next day due to the condition of the field of play. The sides re-started the game from the beginning and again in a full house, and Hungary won the roller-coaster game. 

For the bronze, in three sets, Duszak/Pokwap took Poland's fourth medal in the tournament as they beat Romania 2:1.

"We did not expect that many great results, but playing at home in front of thousands gave us extra energy to write history." - said Duszak after the battle for the third position.

The final started with two one-sided sets for each unit. The deciding period could not have been closer, but with three points in a row at the end, the Hungarians got their 11th consecutive triumph and became Teqball's reigning world and European champions.

Nikola Mitro was naturally disappointed, however, the silver medal was a little bit shinier. "We almost got them, and it always motivates us to beat them. This rivalry is Teqball's biggest one and we will fight with double energy to finally listen to the Serbian anthem and the end." 

"It was the toughest Teqball tournament in my life ever. In the beginning, we were not prepared mentally. After the semifinal, everything got together and although the final was very-very close, we stayed calm and managed to get one of the sweetest victories." - expressed his feelings Katz.
