PES INSIDER: SINGLES NEWCOMER KOMŠA STUNS FIELD WITH MAIDEN CHAMPIONSHIP
Debutant Komša captured his first singles championship in emphatic fashion, defying pre-tournament odds to claim the crown. The newcomer’s victory validates that Komša could translate doubles success into singles dominance against the competition in a loaded 16-player tournament.
Boce made an impact in his second tournament, securing second place to announce himself as a serious contender on the circuit. His runner-up finish suggests the competitive landscape continues to evolve with fresh talent challenging the established order.
Perhaps most surprisingly, two-time defending champion Miha saw his perfect 2025 record come to an end, settling for third place after consecutive tournament victories. While still leading the season standings with 9 points, his failure to reach the final signals that the competition is catching up to the early season favorite.
Notably, legendary five-time 2024 champion Toma made his long-awaited 2025 debut but failed to medal, raising questions about whether his extended absence has dulled his competitive edge. The tournament’s depth was evident with established stars like Đele, Đilas, and Branko also unable to crack the podium, highlighting the increasingly competitive nature of the circuit as new talent continues to emerge.
