In Enebon’s victorious away match against Caen with 3-0 sets for the 13th matchday of the French League, the four-time European youth champion, Yannis Sgouropoulos, prevailed in a perfectly balanced match 3-2 sets of the French champion Stephane Ues, well-known and to the Greek public from his collaboration for one year with AS Pera Athens.
Without having participated in all the matches, Sgouropoulos had until Tuesday to show remarkable performances and some marginal defeats and the fact that he finally reached his first positive result with his new team in Pro A in February, also testifies to why the France has one of the top club leagues in Europe.
Enebon continues in first place in the standings and now prepares for the semi-finals of the Europe Cup with the also French Pontoise Cergy.
Enebon has played 12 matches so far in the league and leads with 30 points. The match against Caen was for the 13th day of the tournament. Sgouropoulos was placed at No. 3 and faced left-handed international Stephane Ues, former French men’s singles champion. He found himself trailing 0-2 in the set, but made the comeback, winning the fifth set in overtime (14-12) to make the final 3-0 for his team.
Caen is limited to tenth place in the standings, but it should be noted that back in 1999 they were the club that won the inaugural Men’s Champions League in the history of table tennis.
