At the Yonex Italian Open 2025 in Bolzano, the German badminton players convinced primarily in the double disciplines. Two semi-finals in the men’s double and mixed underlined the strong cutting off-while it was less successful in the men’s and women’s singles this time.
The Yonex Italian Open 2025 took place in Bolzano from June 25th to 29th. The BWF International Series tournament with a prize money of $ 5,000 was held in the Palaresia-with pleasant results from a German perspective, especially in men’s doubles and mixed.
Early in the men’s singles and women’s singles
Kian-Yu Oei and Sanjeevi Padmanabhan Vasudevan competed in the men’s singles. Oei had to surrender in the first round against Bharath Latheesh from the United Arab Emirates with 17:21, 18:21. Vasudevan achieved a convincing start with a clear 21:11, 21:13 victory over the Swiss Tobias Kuenzi, but in round two against the later finalist Ming Hong Lim from Malaysia at 9:21, 18:21.
There was a close duel in the women’s singles: Miranda Wilson met in round one on Xu Wei from Austria. In a competitive match, she had to give up just 21:19, 19:21, 19:21.
Men’s double shines with semi-finals
In the men’s double, Danial Iman Marzuan and David Eckerlin made it to the semi-finals. In round one they prevailed against the Turkish duo Budak/Ozdemir in three sets (17:21, 21:19, 21:18). In the quarter -finals they kept the upper hand in a tight match against Erliksson/Morskogen from Sweden with 21:12, 18:21, 21:19. They also performed strongly in the semifinals, but had to give up the later tournament winners Daniel Franco and Rodrigo Sanjurjo from Spain with 16:21, 25:23, 17:21.
Simon Krax and Jonathan Dresp also showed a good tournament performance. After a final victory against Goh/Sheng (Malaysia), they met in round two on the top seed English Butler/Jones. In a game at eye level, they only narrowly lost to 21:17, 16:21, 18:21.
For the pairings Pascal and Patrick Scheis as well as Aaron Sonnenschein and Marvin Datko it was over in the first round.
Mixed ensures further highlight
Another exclamation mark set the mixed Patrick and Franziska Volkmann. After a confident opening victory, they made an exciting match against Miha Ivanic and Lina Schadeg from Switzerland (14:21, 21:16, 21:17) in round two. In the quarter -finals, they won with a concentrated performance against Chua/Wong (England/Malaysia) with 21:14, 21:17. The Turkish duo Sonmez/Bektas then waited in the semifinals – here the Volkmanns had to give up with 10:21, 16:21.
Aaron Sonnenschein and Julia Meyer moved into round two after a victory over Ayyappan/Azzahra from the United Arab Emirates (21:19, 21:19), but lost there against Sanjurjo/Carulla (Spain) with 16:21, 14:21.

Voice from the coaching team
The U25 federal base base manager and national coach individual Johanna Käpplein drew a positive conclusion:
“The Italian Open were a category higher than our last tournaments, all the more gratifying that we could keep up here too. Even if it was not enough in all matches to the hoped -for victories, we were able to achieve a podium again, which is confident. We take a lot of valuable experience with us and look forward to working on us.”
