European Championships

Tomorrow evening at the Table Tennis Centre “Maso della Pieve” in Bolzano the women’s team of Italy will host Czech Republic in the match of Group 2 of the qualifications to the European Championships of 2023.

Coach Elena TIMINA has called Nicole ARLIA Giorgia PICCOLIN Debora VIVARELLI and Nikoleta STEFANOVA. On the other side Petr NEDOMA has chosen Hana MATELOVA Zdena BLASKOVA and Marketa SEVCIKOVA.

“It will be a difficult match ” coach TIMINA comments “with a 50% chance for both teams to win. The opponents have a strong leader in Hana MATELOVA but the other players have also achieved good results this year. For example the defender SEVCIKOVA beat Gaia MONFARDINI at the European Championships. The Czech Republic has a higher world ranking than ours but I think we are in good shape and we have already shown that we can beat teams that have better positions than ours. I believe that the result will depend on the form and the spirit of the two teams on the day of the match and also on a bit of luck”.
