ETTU: SolexConsult TTC Wiener Neustadt booked their tickets for Final 4

In their last match in Group C, SolexConsult TTC Wiener Neustadt overcame KS DEKORGLASS DZIAŁDOWO. In Group A, A.S PONTOISE-CERGY TT defeated Tesla Batteries Havirov once again.

In Poland, Austria’s SolexConsult TTC Wiener Neustadt secured their fourth win; for the second time, they overcame KS DEKORGLASS DZIAŁDOWO. The match went the full distance, but it did not prevent Austria from claiming the top spot in the group unbeaten. They have secured their place in the Final Four after progressing from Stage One of the Champions League.

Ivor BAN was the backbone of the team’s success with two wins over ZHOU Yu and Patryk LEWANDOWSKI, while Jin UEDA secured the third point.

The Austrians are now in the Final Four, and French GV HENNEBONT TT and KS DEKORGLASS DZIAŁDOWO have not played against each other yet. Their first duel is scheduled for December 8th.

In France, A.S PONTOISE-CERGY TT repeated their success against Tesla Batteries Havirov and prevailed in straight matches. The Czech club has already suffered two losses against 1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V, but the French team is yet to meet the reigning champions.

Tonight, Marcos FREITAS set the pace with a win over Adam STALZER; Mehdi BOULOUSSA followed suit with a victory over Tomas POLANSKY. Jan VALENTA had a chance to extend the match, but in the decisive game, Flavio MOURIER showed no mercy.

Freitas nur an Nummer 3, warum das?

Mit dieser Aufstellung hätte Pontoise nur eine Chance gehabt, wenn Freitas zwei Einzel spielt und gewinnt.

Warum sind die Franzosen ohne Tristan Flore und ohne einen der Koreaner (Lim Jonghoon und Oh Junsung) angetreten?

ETTU: 1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V. step closer to Final 4

1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V. is making significant strides toward its first-ever Final Four in the Champions League Men, which will be held in Saarbrücken. In the penultimate match in Group A, they overcame A.S PONTOISE-CERGY TT without any undue alarm. The reigning champions remain unbeaten in three matches so far.

Tonight, against the French team, there was not much suspense.

“We were relieved at the beginning when we saw that the Korean players were not in the lineup. It made our job even easier. However, we did not let our guard down. We took it seriously and began the match on high alert. It gave me a good opening against Flavio MOURIER,” explained Darko JORGIC.

In the group stage, each game and match are crucial, so the team fought hard for every point.

“In the second match, FRANZISKA joined the team despite his seven-day absence due to illness. He is aware of the importance of the matches in the Champions League and did not want to leave anything to chance, so he played. We have the Final 4 here in a few months, and that is a big thing,” said JORGIC.

Marcos FREITAS was the only player to score on the French side.

“We all know who FREITAS is. I was losing to him like anyone else. Our adversaries put him in the third position to maximize their match wins. He won clearly against NUYTINCK. My match against BOULOUSSA did not start well for me. I was losing 1-5, 7-3, but I beat him 12-10 in the opening game, which boosted my self-confidence. In the end, I took complete control of the match,” said JORGIC.

The second match between 1. FC Saarbrücken TT e.V. and A.S PONTOISE-CERGY TT is scheduled for December 21st.

“I expect it will be harder than it was now, especially if their two Koreans return to the team. However, we only need two matches to reach the next stage, and hopefully, we will achieve that.”

Tesla Batteries Havirov is without a win in Group A, having played all four matches.

Was ist überhaupt mit den Franzosen los?

Protestieren die gegen eine Teilnahme von Neu-Ulm, weil die Champions League spielen dürfen, obwohl die in keiner nationalen Liga spielen? Ich habe so etwas gehört, dass die französischen Teams das nicht akzeptieren.

Hennebont verzichtete auch konsequent auf einen Einsatz seiner starken Spieler Kristian Karlsson und Liam Pitchford.
