Olympic bronze medallist and world champion among final pairs confirmed for Queen & King of the Court London Showcase

The overseas stars will head for the event staged in the iconic setting of Canada Square, Canary Wharf (E14 5AH) - which is free for spectators to attend (no ticket required) - to take on a host of other international talent, as well as the best of British players.  

Brouwer, 34, is an Olympic bronze medallist from Rio 2016 and a world champion from 2013, playing alongside regular partner and fellow Dutchman Robert Meeuwsen. 

He clinched top-five placings at Beach Pro Tour events in Brasilia (Elite 16) and Stare Jablonki (Challenge). 

Brouwer will be paired with Sowa, 21, who has enjoyed an excellent season on the Beach Pro Tour alongside regular partner Maximilian Just. 

The German has been victorious in the Futures tournament in Krakow and Messina and also claimed third place on the podium in Nuvali. 

Both Brouwer and Sowa played in the QKOTC Ultimate Mash Up in Utrecht earlier this month. 

Olimstad, 23, had two top five finishes at Beach Pro Tour Futures events last year in Warsaw and Haikou playing in tandem with Sunniva Helland-Hansen, who is also playing at the London Showcase alongside Marie-Sara Stochlova. 

The Norwegian was also part of her country’s team to play in the Nations Cup Final in Jurmala, Latvia in June and also played in the QKOTC Ultimate Mash Up in Utrecht at the start of September. 

Countrywoman Lunde, 32, is vastly experienced, with a wealth of Beach Pro Tour matches under her belt. 

She played, too, competed in this year’s Nations Cup and in coming together again with Olimstad is rekindling a partnership that featured at the King of the Court event in Hamburg in 2021.
