Disappointment in Baden duel

Ladies of TTC 46 Weinheim lose to ESV Weil 3:6

The TTC 46 Weinheim had hoped for more in the fight against relegation from the first Bundesliga. But a false start in the doubles was already too big a burden, which could not be compensated for in the singles.

Although these doubles pairings have already been played, they were unable to continue their previously flawless record. Caroline Kumahara and Luisa Säger still started well with a set win, but after that their opponents Trifonova/Arapovic were clearly superior and secured a 3:1. Daria Trigolos and Sophia Klee were defeated 0:3 at the other table by Lupulesku/Scholz from South Baden.

Hope was raised when both points in the top pair went to Weinheim.
Caroline Kumahara made it very exciting, could only hold her ground very narrowly against Izabel Lupulesku three times. Next to her, Daria Trigolos brought a 3:1 against Polina Trifonova into the scoreboard.

Lisa Lung seemed to be beside herself today. She managed almost nothing and lost more than clearly against Vivian Scholz. In parallel, Sophia Klee, who was still playing for Weil in the last round, fought in vain after leading 2:1 sets against Hana Arapovic, the Croatian young talent who was signed up for Sophia.

In the top duel Caroline Kumahara had to give away the first two sets before she improved and defeated Polina Trifonova. Daria Trigolos was at a loss against Izabela Lupulesku’s well-placed shots and lost outright.

Again Lisa Lung didn’t get much going against Hana Arapovic, then in the third set things went well and one hoped for the turnaround, but it failed to happen: final score 3:6.

The supporters of ESV Weil among the 175 spectators could cheer, for the Weinheim team the hope remains for the last match of the preliminary round at the so far pointless SV Böblingen to double the points lead.
