The ITF World Tennis Tour M15 tournament in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, offering a total prize pool of $15,000, concluded with Khumoyun Sultanov of Uzbekistan claiming the title. In Sunday’s final, Sultanov defeated 18-year-old Spaniard Tito Chavez 6-0, 7-5 to lift the trophy.

The tournament delivered a week of high-quality tennis in the spectacular surroundings of the Julian Alps. Players competed on the clay courts of Hotel Kranjska Gora, with many participants describing the venue as one of the most beautiful locations on the professional tennis circuit.

Among the Slovenian players, Bor Artnak achieved the best result by reaching the quarterfinals. Fresh from his title run in Litija, Artnak continued his strong form and secured a place among the tournament’s final eight.

Tournament Director Iztok Kukec expressed his satisfaction with the event’s success:

We have successfully completed the men’s tournament in Kranjska Gora with a prize fund of $15,000. I am delighted that we witnessed a week of quality tennis and many outstanding matches. Numerous players told us that Kranjska Gora is one of the most beautiful venues they have ever competed at, thanks to its stunning scenery, nature, and unique surroundings.

“I would like to sincerely thank the Municipality of Kranjska Gora, Hotel Kranjska Gora, and all the staff and volunteers who helped organize the event. Without their support, staging a tournament of this level would not have been possible.
