“If someone had told me I would win this tournament, I wouldn’t have believed it. » Christo Popov himself finds it hard to believe it. At 21, the resident of the Fos-sur-Mer club won the first World Tour title of his career by winning the German Open on Sunday March 3.

The youngest of the Popov brothers, 27th player in the world, took a nice revenge on the Dane Rasmus Gemke in the final (21-17, 21-16), who had beaten him two weeks earlier for the title at the European Championships by teams.
