Yiannis Sgouropoulos adds another inter-club title abroad to his rich portfolio. On the evening of Wednesday 22/05, he was crowned Swedish champion 2023-2024 with Eslov VTK.
In the second final of the playoffs, his team prevailed in front of the crowd of Sonderham 4-0 and combined with the equally wide victory on 19/05, as a guest, won the championship with a total score of 2-0 without needing a third match .
She returned to the headlines after three years and celebrated the 14th overall in her history. The top table tennis player contributed to the success by winning both the first and second matches. He celebrated a second consecutive championship abroad after the French Pro A last year with Enebonne, but also the second with Eslov after that of 2019, in his first collaboration with the club.
Like the first final, the rematch seemed to have favourites. The picture was similar to that of last Sunday with the eventual champions certainly finding strong resistance, but having the final say in every individual game. Sgouropoulos competed in the third match of the series and defeated the Swede Anton Hort with 3-2 sets. We remind you that he also won five sets in the first final, while in the semi-finals of the playoffs his tally was 1 win and 1 loss. In regular time Eslov was by far the first team, while Sonderham had taken 2nd place.
