On Wednesday, Konstantinos Konstantinopoulos wore the jersey of BTK Record for the first matchday of the Swedish table tennis Super Division and he was a big star. With two wins in singles and one in doubles he led his team to a great 4-3 set win against former national champion and last year’s playoff finalist Eslov.
All the foreign interclub championships are slowly getting under way, in which Greek “legionaries” will compete this year. For example, at the end of the current week the top leagues and National categories start in France and the next week the first division in Spain.
Konstantinopoulos began his third consecutive season in Sweden with the same team. At the start of the championship, Record welcomed the strong Eslov and did the… bang with a 4-3 set victory. In the exciting match, the two-time champion of Greece in the men’s singles defeated the Finnish Alex Naomi with 3-0 sets, the Swedish Martin Fris with 3-1, while he also competed in the decisive doubles.
With teammate Hambus Sønderlund, he performed another very good performance and they overcame Fris and Tom Jervis (Sweden/England) with 2-1 sets (in 3 sets this match).
Record, which could hardly have imagined a better start to the season, aims for the playoffs again this year. Last season he reached the semi-finals.
For France, where most Greek internationals traditionally compete, the notable news in anticipation of the start of the championships is that Aliki Kioufi will make her Pro B debut on Friday. had agreed not only to play in the National categories, but also in the second national category of the Scandinavian country with the second team of the association.
