TTC 46 Weinheim: Clear victories for the ladies II, clear defeats for the men
It was clear to all those responsible that the men’s team would have to fight to achieve the midfield position they were aiming for in the new season of the 3rd Bundesliga South. Now it comes in addition that the planned number is not available for the time being: the young Indian Payas Jain does not come at present yet from India because of the Corona pandemic, and thus the point guarantor Björn tree must slip into the front pair cross, where for him the air seems nevertheless somewhat too thin.
Thus the season start for the national league team of the men did not run at all after desire. On Saturday with the TSG Kaiserslautern it set a deftige 0:6 Klatsche, in the home play on Sunday against DJK SpVgg Effeltrich became it despite several chances with 1:6 not much better.
Thus both doubles Both/Gerhold and Eise/Baum could credit themselves only in each case a set, and in the singles it went also closely to, but evenly always with the better end for the hosts.
Björn Baum bravely won 2 sets before his opponent Rafael Turrini took over and turned the match around. Tom Eise lost his match 1:3 against Adam Klajber.
Alexander Gerhold was defeated by Vladislav Rukletsov after three tight sets, while Oliver Both won the first two rounds, but then had to concede victory to Lasse Becker.
The result was too high and too clear; this was also the verdict after the 1:6 against Effeltrich.
In the doubles, Tom Eise and Björn Baum had a 2:1 set lead against their opponents Marius Zaus / Alexander Rattassep, but then could no longer hold a decisive lead.
Oliver Both and Alexander Gerhold improved from set to set, but in the end they had no chance against Martin Gumann and Nicolas Lum 0:3.
Tom Eise provided the only point for the Weinheim side in his match against Marius Zaus with a 3:1 win.
Once again Björn Baum fought exemplary, took a 2:0 lead and had the victory in the fourth set at 9:7, but then had to give in to Martin Gumann.
Oliver Both had to accept the superiority of the Australian young talent Nicolas Lum at 0:3. Alexander Gerhold fought sacrificially against Alexander Rattassep, winning rounds 1 and 4, but ultimately without the positive final point.
The victory point of the guests from Franconia had to allow Tom Eise with 0:3 against Martin Gumann.
With a little luck one or two points more would have been in it, victories for the table must be fetched however against other opponents and evenly in complete formation.
The ladies II of the TTC 46 were also in action twice this weekend and could fall back on the best line-up. In the regional league derby at TTV Weinheim-West and also in the first home match parallel to the men’s match, they achieved superior 9:1 victories.
For the regional league the so-called federal system with play-through applies since this season, i.e. after the two doubles all eight singles are played out in the two pair crosses.
At TTV West, the doubles of TTC 46 already set the first scent mark. Nikoleta Puchovanova and Julia Weimer clearly dominated their opponents Sifan Sissi Pan and Elena Hinterberger, while in parallel Hanna Patseyeva/Melissa Friedrich lost the first set to the hosts Lisa Mayer and Carolin Reisig, after which the TTC ladies were successful – albeit narrowly.
The top pair cross saw both Hanna Patseyeva against Sifan Sissi Pan and Nikoleta Puchovanova against Elena Hinterberger clearly ahead, cross later only Hanna had to give up a set against Elena.
For TTC 46, Julia Weimer provided two counters with a hard-fought 4-set win against Lisa Mayer and then again 3:1 against Carolin Reisig. Melissa Friedrich still prevailed against Carolin Reisig, but against Lisa Mayer she then had to concede the honorary point of the hosts in close sets.
Instead of Julia Weimer, Sara Hartmann was able to show herself for the first time in the regional league on Sunday against DJK Offenburg II, and she proved her maturity and strong nerves by winning two 5-set matches after being down in sets.
In the doubles with Melissa Friedrich at the beginning it was not enough for a win, but in the deciding set against Röderer/Leser the first and only counter for the guests was due.
Puchovanova/Patseyeva, on the other hand, left no stone unturned against Heuberger/Spinner.
Nikoleta Puchovanova seemed a bit unfocused and had to give up two sets each against Linda Röderer and later against Petra Heuberger due to too many mistakes of her own, before she brought home the final set in a concentrated manner in each case. Hanna Patseyeva was more confident in her 3:0 against Heuberger and 3:1 against Röderer. Melissa Friedrich could also celebrate two victories, clearly against Luisa Leser, only in the deciding set against Alisa Spinner.
With now 6:0 points and 26:4 games the team clearly took over the top of the table of the Regionalliga Südwest.
