Even though 32 women participated, it turned out to be a one woman show by Ouschan. 6:2, 6:2, 6:0, 6:1 and 6:0 is her impressive record from the event. That proves that no other player had the slightest chance against Ouschan. In fact, she dominated the whole field to her liking.

„I have felt so well here“, stated Ouschan after the awards, „and having played the men’s Euro-Tour just before the women’s Euro-Tour definitely gave me a boost and improved my performance.“ Ouschan achieved and impressive 9th rank in the men’s event, ousting players like Roman Hybler (CZE) and other tough guns to beat. She finally lost to her own brother Albin on the winner’s side and the to Mark Gray (GBR) in the round of the last 16 players.

Jasmin Ouschan overcame Nataliya Seroshtan 6:2, Sandra Baumgartner (AUT) 6:2, Silvia Gaudino 6:0, Sandra Baumgartner 6:1 and finally Monica Margeta 6:0 for the title.
