Rööse and Arvidsson Claim Mixed Doubles Title at Swegon Bordtennis-SM 2026
Karlskrona, Sweden – Alma Rööse and Simon Arvidsson have been crowned the Swedish champions in mixed doubles at the Swegon Bordtennis-SM 2026, held at the Brinova Arena. The victory marks a significant achievement for the pair, especially after a disappointing semifinal loss at last year’s competition in Uppsala.
A Tightly Contested Final
The final saw Rööse and Arvidsson face off against Filippa Bergand and Martin Friis of Eslövs AI BTK. The match began with both pairs securing a set each, demonstrating their skill and determination. The third set proved to be the most competitive, with Bergand and Friis initially taking a commanding lead of 6-1 before Rööse and Arvidsson fought back to regain control.
Rööse and Arvidsson secured the third set and carried that momentum into the fourth, winning with a score of 11-8 to claim the championship title. This win represents a tactical improvement for the duo, as they’ve refined their strategy since their previous defeat.
