Hittin' the Court Again: Iris Stockbauer's International Squash Adventure
Iris Stockbauer, the squash-slammin' Regensburg phenom, hit the road once more for a pair of age group tournaments in luxurious Luxembourg and vibrant Croatia. The age groups ranged from 40+ to 50+, with the 50+ division in Luxembourg being a small, intimate gathering with just four players, owing to one of Stockbauer's frequent foes, Melanie Kreisel, being sidelined by a pesky bug.
In Luxembourg, the 40+ division quartet was minted. Stockbauer's unbeatable streak continued, as she swept German Petra Kölmel and Luxembourg's Karolin Mazur in the final with an impressive 3:0 victory. But, inevitably, even the mighty Stockbauer fell - there's a first time for everything, right?
The Croatian Masters Open 2025 was next on the roster, held in the buzzing city of Zagreb. Stockbauer competed in the women's 40+ category and left a lasting impression, earning a top placement (medal) among the fierce competition[1]. Furthermore, the European Squash Federation took note of her strong performance in senior-level events in or around Zagreb[1][2].
The details of her individual matches in Croatia are hazy, but the medals she bagged at the Croatian Masters Open speak volumes about her success there[1][2].
As for her future competition schedule, the sources don't spill the beans on any upcoming tournaments for our No. 1 player. However, given her impressive showings and medals in recent senior tournaments, she's likely to keep chasing glory in more masters-level European events.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Stockbauer on the squash court - we've got a feeling she ain't done yet!
