Just like last week at the Deutsches Tischtennis-Zentrum in Dusseldorf, Katerina Toliou stayed in the second qualifying round of the German World Table Tennis Feeder on Tuesday, which marked the start of her women’s singles effort.
The very high level of competition met him from the start, in fact, like last Tuesday, he also now ran into an obstacle from Asia. In WTT Feeder Dusseldorf I she had lost to a young Chinese champion, in II she was defeated 3-1 by Lee Hoi Man Karen from Hong Kong. In any case, of course, the presence in the German city was useful for the top Greek athlete, she would just like to have a better draw and her strong competitive tests included more matches.
On the first day of the German Feeder, Toliou, currently ranked 189th in the world, waited until the opening round of the qualifying table to find out her opponent. Lee Hoi Man Karen (world number 208) faced Luxembourg’s Ariel Barbosa on Tuesday morning and defeated her in 3-1 sets.
Our defending style champion, who was straight into the second round of ’32, took on the 19-year-old Asian at noon. He lost the first two sets in detail and went down in overtime. In the fourth set, she was unable to maintain her same consistency and was eventually eliminated in 3-1 sets (8-11, 12-14, 13-11, 5-11).
