The second edition of the European Championships in Berlin saw the rise of the 20-year-old Swedish international Hans Alser, who became the champion of the singles event after beating the local favorite – Erich Arndt in the final. However, this tournament was boycotted by the East Bloc countries due to political reasons. As a result, the World-class players from Hungary, Czechoslovakia, Soviet Union and Romania did not travel to West Germany.
The absence of some of the potential favorites opened up the path to medals for Swedish, German and Yugoslav players. The latter won the team event thanks to stellar performances of Vojislav Markovic, Istvan Korpa and Željko Hrbud. The Yugoslavs also were the best in the doubles event, as two Yugoslav pairs reached the final.
