Anouk, 33, and Zoé, 27, are currently going through the best moment of their still young partnership as they got to Gstaad after winning medals in three consecutive Beach Pro Tour events – they took silver in the Spiez Futures, bronze in the Ostrava Elite and gold in the Alanya Challenge.
Hüberli, a 32-year-old, two-time Olympian, who got bronze in Paris last year, and Kernen, a 19-year-old, U18 and U20 European champion, are also enjoying a promising start to their new partnership, having taken silver in the season-opening Yucatán Challenge and gold in the Spiez Futures, where they topped the Vergé-Dépré sisters in the only duels between the new Swiss teams so far. As the top team in Pool B, Hüberli and Kernen advanced directly to the Round of 12 and didn’t have to play on Friday.
