Only those sportsmen and women who entered at least the round of 16 in the singles at the European Table Tennis Championship in Austria get points and, thus, the three Greeks who advanced to the main draw did not have a points advantage.
Giannis Sgouropoulos, Konstantinos Angelakis and Katerina Toliou went through two qualifying phases to finally be placed in positions 33-64, but the ITTF shows them with 0 points from this event… Following this agreement with the world ranking, they have dropping positions…
In the men’s table, Sgouropoulos moved to number 213 from 201 the previous week. Angelakis was at 425 (out of 411) and Giorgos Stamatouros, who lost in the knockout qualifier for entering the board, at 1047 (out of 1027). Panagiotis Gionis, who was not in a rated event recently, is at number 83 (out of 82).
In the women’s category, Malamatenia Papadimitriou, who was eliminated in the qualifying group stage in Leeds, dropped to number 347 (from 341). Toliu appears in 375 (of 367). Elizabeth Terpou, who had passed the second qualifying phase to qualify for the main draw, is at number 402 (out of 395).
