Pablo Ramirez Rioja got on the podium at the WTT Youth Contender Havirov but just missed out on the top prize to the second seed.

A 3-1 (9-11, 11-7, 11-7, 11-9) win over Mikolaj Pilch of Poland in the semi-finals set up a final against second seed Ondrej Moravek of the host nation, ranked 25 places above him in the under-13 world rankings. And it went with ranking as Moravek won 3-0 (12-10, 11-6, 11-8) to take gold.

Oscar Nikolli was a third English player to reach the quarter-finals where he lost to Pilch, who had defeated top seed Louis Fegerl in the groups, 3-2 (11-9, 8-11, 10-12, 11-3, 11-3).
