In the individual competition, however, Hutterer had to fight strong opponents and was unable to win in the preliminary round. In doubles he competed with his partner David Gaisbauer from Mauthausen. The duo had a difficult start, was initially 0: 2 in sets against a strong Tyrolean double. But a tactical change from her coach made sure that they could fight back and won the next two sentences. The Tyrolean team was unsettled in the decisive sentence, and Hutterer/Gaisbauer finally won the victory. Unfortunately, the round of 16 against the number 1 of the tournament, Fegerl/Chen Sung, was that for the duo. Despite the defeat, the two will remember the experience of gaining such a top -class player.

In an exciting final match against Roßleithen/Spital 6, Jan Hutterer, who has been younger for a few years younger than his competitor, was back in top shape. At the age of only 9, he was able to win two single games and a double victory together with Al Deyab. For Hutterer it was a nice confirmation of his progress, and the entire team showed a balanced performance that led to a clear success.
