The 2026 European Championships in Huelva move into their third day today, with most matches being played in the round of 32, while women’s doubles have already advanced to the round of 16.

Some of the tournament’s top names are ready to make their first appearances.

Among those stepping on court for the first time are top seed Anders Antonsen, who will face Oleksii Titov, and Line Kjærsfeldt, who meets Keisha Fatimah Azzahra in her opening match.
