Sweets & Treats In Katowice

The players of the Katowice Open were challenged to a number of exhibitions at the player party Sunday night, and first up was cooking. Things weren’t looking good for Donna Vekic…

… but with a little help from a professional chef she was able to create a sweet treat.

Turkish player Başak Eraydın’s snack went up in flames – but that was all part of the plan, of course!

After showing off their confectionary skills, the players took part in a keepy-uppy competition using their tennis racquets. Stefanie Voegele put up a good effort…

… while Camila Giorgi’s attempt was pretty dismal.

Everyone tried their hand at keepy-uppy and in the end it was Kirsten Flipkens (left) who emerged the winner, though Viktorija Golubic (right) also put up a good effort.

Of course, Anna Karolina Schmiedlova (pictured here with Sportking Director Jakub Puchalski and Tournament Director Pawel Owczarz) is no stranger to the challenges of Katowice – she’s the defending champion looking to grab another title here in Poland.

Alizé Cornet, the No.4 seed, ran into fellow Frenchwoman Virginie Razzano at the party…

… while Polish local Magda Linette posed with an on-the-rise Russian, Elizaveta Kulichkova.
