The 85th German National Championships was held in Bamberg. Kristin SILBEREISEN two times on the top

It seems to be a record for the eternity: For the 11time Timo BOLL won the Men’s Singles Final at the German National Championships. The European Record Champion overcame defender Ruwen FILUS in the finals with an easy 4-0 win and showed up after four weeks in good shape.

“I played better than I expected from myself. I am happy to became champion in the city of Bamberg because my last memory to this city from some years before was losing a final. No I am good with Bamberg” Boll smiled.

Dimitrij OVTCHAROV canceled his participation because an injury. Ricardo WALTHER and Benedikt DUDA became third. In Men’s Doubles FILUS/WALTHER defended their title.

In Women Singles surprisingly Europe Doubles Champion Kristin SILBEREISEN defended her title from 2016 against favorite number one seed SHAN Xiaona after being 0-2 down in the finals. It was SILBEREISEN`s 3^rd title after 2010 and 2016. World Number 6 HAN Ying didn’t play because a surgery of her daughter. Tanja KRÄMER and Katharina MICHAJLOVA became semi-finalists. In Doubles the gold medal went to SILBEREISEN/SHAN.
