The rise and the fall

But the most interesting moment came in the semi-finals, when the German boys lost 3-0 to the overwhelming power of Italy. A bitter setback that shattered the team, but the bronze medal remains the glorious reward for their efforts! Rinderer fought almost to the bitter end, but lost 1:3 to Francesco Trevisan. Tien Nghia Phong also had no chance and had to surrender 0-3 in the duel against Danilo Faso. The combination of Jonas Rinderer and Samuel Kuhl had to admit defeat in doubles 2:3 – a dramatic end to a great fight!

However, the U19 team was not so successful and lost both group games against Bulgaria and Croatia, which left the fans very excited. Results they didn't expect: 1:3 against Bulgaria and again 1:3 against Croatia. Now it's time to challenge Greece to turn things around!

The U15 girls final: a dream come true!

But the real highlight of the day is the fiber match of the U15 girls, who have once again reached the final and will face the French team!

Coach Jie Schöpp has prepared the girls well for the challenge against France, but the competition is strong. A duel that will make all chairs rattle and hearts beat faster!
