Elizabeth Terpu competed in the first of two consecutive Opens of this series of World Table Tennis Feeder, which will take place in Düsseldorf, Germany. He made a good effort against Slovakia Tatiana Kukulkova, until she was defeated 4-0 and eliminated in the first round of the singles.
Terpou will stay in the German city to continue the strong competitive tests and this time she will be accompanied by the current Greek champion of the women’s singles, Katerina Toliou and the Greek runner-up of the women’s doubles, Malamatenia Papadimitriou. Greek participation is limited to the simple event.
In today’s premiere of the German event, Terpou knew that she would have a very difficult task in the round of “32” against the very remarkable Slovak (No. 136). At the same time, of course, he knew that with a good appearance he would become completely competitive. He achieved this, pressured Koukulkova, but in the most critical points he failed to do anything more and claim the victory. He lost with a very small difference the first three sets (in the second he equalized with a series of 6-10, but he was bent in overtime) and with a negative psychology he was defeated 4-0 (8-11, 10-12, 9-11, 6- 11).
* Papadimitriou will make the start for Greece in the ITTF Youth Contender in the new year. He has declared participation in the Tunisian youth tournament, which, in fact, is of the top tier, the so-called Youth Star Contender. The matches in Tunis are to take place on February 2-6.
* The dates for the 2022 World Team Championship have been announced. It will be hosted by the Chinese city of Chengdu from Sunday 17 to Tuesday 26 April 2022 and the 40 best men’s and women’s teams will take part. The venue will be the new and modern Chengdu High-tech Sports Center. We remind you that after many postponements, the 2020 World Team Championship, which was to take place in Korea, was finally canceled due to the pandemic.
