In the singles match, Estonia's Kristin Kuuba secured a victory against Germany's Miranda Wilson, showcasing strong performance with scores of 21:12 and 22:20. However, the team struggled in the doubles matches, where Catlyn Üprus and Ramona Üprus lost to the German duo Selin Hübch and Amalie Lehmann, with scores of 15:21 and 17:21.

Subsequently, Helis Pajustel fought hard but ultimately fell to Katharina Nilges after a close match, which ended with scores of 21:13, 12:21, and 21:17.
