"I'm very grateful that I was able to make this happen. Winning the world championship at home, in the city where you were born and raised, is different; it means everything. Once I won the men's singles, I became stress-free, and this helped us in the mixed doubles," said Apor Gyorgydeak.
According to the Romanian Teqball Federation, the Gyorgydeak/Barabasi pair defeated the Thai pair, Suphawadi Wongkhamchan/Phakpong Dejaroen, 2-0.
