At noon it was judged that the two Panathinaikos teams were passing second with their teams in the quarter -final round of the Europe Trophy Grand Finals.

In the first group of men, Serbian Nis Zeleznicar paid 3-0 and Belgian Audergm and took the lead. In the women’s A group, Serbian Yosip Columbus also won the Austrian Stokerau finale 3-0 and finished at the top. The draw followed and the new opponents emerged.

At the men’s Europe Trophy Grand Final, Panathinaikos was called upon to face Stokerau, who had first place in the Second Group. For almost three hours there was a solid counter with suspense, tension and passion, and in the end a defeat was 3-2. The Austrians are reinforced by Egyptian Callet Asar (Omar’s brother, leading athlete in the country), Panathinaikos again had the defender Angelakis, who scored two wins and eventually measured the details.

Last year’s Europe Trophy holder did not take advantage of his opportunities, but remained with heavy complaints from the referee about Al -Samouri’s abnormal service. Mr. Constantinopoulos faced the Austrian in the decisive fifth match. He complained from the first set to the referee for the opponent’s service, but nothing changed.

So he had problems with the reception all over the match, he had generally faced a peculiar style of play and was finally bent with 3-1 set. In the end, the people of Panathinaikos complained to the referee.
