On Friday night, Panagiotis Gionis’ Bogoria Grotzisk gave away the first semifinal of the playoffs of the Polish League against Balta Gdansk, prevailed after an ambiguous match with 3-2 sets and gained the lead for the final.
The decisive rematch takes place on Sunday and, if Bogoria qualifies at home, then they will claim the trophy either against Djialdovo or against Bydgoszcz.
Gionis played in a match, got the victory, but the bad thing is that he got new annoyances in Achilles. He will miss the repeat, will return to Athens and earlier in the week will undergo an MRI to determine the size of the problem.
In Gdansk, the predictions wanted a balanced semifinal and this was confirmed in practice. In matches with fluctuations, everything was judged in the double at the end in all three sets. Bogoria prevailed 3-2 and the sets were 8-7 in their favor.
Gionis was placed in 1st place of Bogoria and played in the second match in a row. He defeated Poland’s Tomas Tomasuk with a 3-1 set, tied the teams’ score at 1-1 and was later replaced by the Chinese Sun Siyu.
The top Greek athlete felt discomfort in the second set, “gritted his teeth” to complete his effort, but he could not risk a second individual game. He will stay apart from Sunday’s rematch and after his return to Greece he will do magnetic.
