Challenging the Champions League winner properly

Ladies lose to the champion team with 2:6, men get the first victory

The Weinheim team didn’t really believe that they would have a chance to win against the triple winners, but they did want to make one or two pinpricks.
In the end, ttc berlin eastside proved to be too strong for the TTC 46 Weinheim team.
In the end, the score was 6:2, and a little more would have been possible.

To the surprise of the approx. 175 spectators, both Weinheim doubles were in front with 2:1 sets each, but both Bruna Takahashi / Luisa Säger against Mittelham / Eerland and Sophia Klee / Jennie Wolf against Ding / Göbel finally had to give up in the deciding set. So it was not more than a bit of trouble.

Bruna Takahashi could not perform as brilliantly as she did a week ago, against Britt Eerland from the Netherlands (world number 27) she managed to win 3:1 after losing the first set, later against the German champion Nina Mittelham (number 39) she won the first set, but then she made too many mistakes, so that Mittelham won the match clearly and thus secured the sixth point for her team.
For Lisa Lung, who had to move up to the front pair in the absence of Daria Trigolos, the air was too thin there. Against Nina Mittelham she managed to win one set, against Britt Eerland nothing was possible.
This time, Luisa Säger and Sophia Klee formed the rear pair cross of the Weinheim team.

Luisa Säger celebrated a 3:0 win against Jessica Göbel, but in extremely tight sets.
In the duel junior against senior, attack against defense art Sophia Klee had to recognize against Yaping Ding, in the meantime 54 years old, their superiority.
In the end, however, the clear favorite was victorious.
Next opponent on 7.11. at home is the ESV Weil.

Men finally at eye level

After three depressing defeats with just one match win, SB Versbach came to the Heisenberg-Halle as an opponent that the TTC 46 team was up to.
Still without the number 1 Payas Jain on the side of the Bergsträßer developed an even match, then even with 6:4 with the better end for Weinheim.

Especially the rear pair cross of the TTC 46 with Oliver Both and Alexander Gerhold shone.
Together in the doubles they could not show that yet, they only won the third set. Then in their singles, they were able to defeat both Felix Bindhammer and Daniel Geist, adding four points to the total.

It started with a smooth 3:0 of Tom Eise/Björn Baum against Christ/Ball. Tom Eise acted too risky, after limited training due to his job, only less of his dreaded shots came, and so there were only two 2:3 defeats for him against Andreas Ball and Nico Christ.
Björn Baum was beaten by Christ, but against Andreas Ball, who also used to serve for the TTC 46, he won in four sets.


Coach Rainer Schmidt was satisfied and happy with the improvement in performance, and his men showed that they had arrived in the season.

But it will be difficult in a week at home against the Sportbund Stuttgart, so far 6:0 points.
