Two interesting news were recorded in the last few days about two former champions of Greece in men’s single table tennis, Konstantinos Angelakis and Konstantinos Konstantinopoulos. Angelakis recently came to an agreement with Spanish club CTM Murcia for the second half of the 2022-2023 season.
His team competes in the first national division of the country, he already wore his shirt at the end of last week and on Friday he will participate in a second match.
Konstantinopoulos in his second year with Record in the Swedish League goes from good to better. On Tuesday, he had two more positive individual results, his team completed a four-game winning streak and, as it sits in second place in the standings, cements its presence in the playoffs.
Angelakis did not agree with a foreign team in the summer and, as he had also suffered from an injury, he had preferred to put all his weight in the Greek A1 with Panathinaikos. Along the way, he quickly found his very good competitive face and wanted to take advantage of the possibility of moving in the middle of the season. He closed in Murtia of the Superdivision National and will strengthen it until the end of the season, while competing in the Greek league.
Katerina Toliou makes a similar combination with Spain this year, who by the way significantly helps Reus to be in second place in this year’s League and individually maintains the undefeated record in the new year. The leading Greek athlete competes simultaneously in Greece and France.
Angelakis made his debut in the away match against Ortiteth for the 12th matchday. Down 4-0 sets, the 2020 Greek men’s singles champion was given a tough start by France’s Mathieu de Sedillan, who also has a defensive style of play, at 3-1. Murcia is limited to 12th place with 3 points, has a difficult task to stay and hopes to do better in the second round.
With his presence in Spain, Angelakis adds at the age of 26 another country to his international journey, as he has passed through Germany, France and Poland.
In Pingisligan Herrar, Sweden, Record realizes, with the great assistance of Konstantinopoulos, its high goal compared to last year. After 8 matches, they are second in the standings with 16 points, just one behind leaders Sonderham and are steadily on their way to securing the top four and the playoffs.
On Tuesday, they defeated Sevlinge for the second time, this time away from home with a 4-0 set. The left-handed two-time champion of Greece in men’s singles managed to star in another match with 2 wins. He defeated the experienced Belgian Yannick Vostes with 3-2 (with a reversal from 0-2 in the sets, in fact, while he had beaten him in the first round as well) and our well-known from his presence in Olympiakos, Portuguese Enio Mendes, with 3- 1 set.
At the start of the second round, Konstantinopoulos is the fourth most efficient player in the Swedish league with 10 wins and 4 losses.
