The seventh edition of the European Championships brought some surprising results. The reigning champion Dragutin Šurbek could not even make it to the last 16 after a loss in the Round of 32 against German international Wilfried Lieck. It turned out to be a successful tournament for the Swedish players, who won three out of four medals in the singles event. The champion of the singles event was the 28-year-old Swede Hans Alser, who overcame the Yugoslav Istvan Korpa in the final 3-0.
