European Pinging Pong Tennis Championship: Tuesday in her group, the National Women’s Group has lost difficult from Austria

For the third match of the fifth team of the European Tennis Championship of Zadar, the Women’s National team wanted the outsider to exhaust the hopes of a great victory against Austria, which has a two -time European champion in its ranks. Regardless of the defeat, the team did not lag behind and continues optimistic at a new stage.

It took the lead with the excellent Katerina Toliou and showed ready to chase the overrun, that is, to prevail in the matches with the other two Austria athletes. Ioanna Gerasimatou lost in the decisive, essentially, third individual match, but was competitive and made demands with her appearance.

As they stood very well against Polkanova, Malamates Papadimitriou and Katerina Toliou. The whole of Christos Lami fell with “high heads”, knowing that he had a very difficult task from the beginning. She presented a positive face and claimed the best, as she fit in her value and the occasion. Elizabeth Terpou sat on the bench on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s defeat followed that of the premiere by Sweden with a 3-0 set, Greece finished Tuesday in the group and continues in a playoff with the other seven teams, which also finished third in their clubs.

The motives are not over, we would say anything else, since the first two teams on the special board (ie 17-18 positions) secure the qualification at the next European team championship.

And as for the dream of qualifying at the 2026 World Championships in London? It remains alive because England’s organizer prevailed in the afternoon of 3-2 in Italy and qualified for the 16th place in second place from the seventh group. Thus, the 17th place of the European Championship will also qualify and Greece will fight for this goal.

In detail, the evolution of Greece-Austria 1-3:

Katerina Toliou-Liu Yuan 3-2 (15-13, 8-11, 3-11, 11-9, 11-8)

Malamates Papadimitriou-Sofia Polanova 0-3 (7-11, 4-11, 8-11)
