Two titles each for QIU and WINTER in Germany
European Champion Dang QIU left his mark on the German Championships in Nuremberg as he did in Saarbrücken last year. The world number nine was the first player to successfully defend his singles title since Timo BOLL announced his retirement from national events four years ago. With his sixth successive victory in doubles with his partner Benedikt DUDA QIU even advanced to the “man of the weekend”. In the women’s singles Sabine WINTER third at the Munich European Championships outshone the competition despite the teenage generation that was pushing forward. The 30-year-old repeated her singles success from 2022. WINTER also won gold in doubles with her partner Sophia KLEE who is eleven years younger and set a new record with her seventh title in this competition which she had previously shared with Nicole STRUSE. Like a year ago KLEE’S Bundesliga clubmate Yuan WAN and Cedric MEISSNER secured the title in the mixed event. Qiu confirmed his status as Germany’s number one in the world rankings in absence of his national team colleagues Timo BOLL and Dimitrij OVTCHAROV. Patrick FRANZISKA is still waiting for his first national singles title after his 2-4 defeat in the final against 26-year-old QIU. “It was absolutely the expected difficult match in the final. Even after I took the lead Patrick kept coming back and it was close again ” said Dang QIU. “In the sixth game I started 5-0 at the end it’s 7-6 again – except for the second they were all close games.” In the women’s events young talents dominated the action after the cancellations of top players Ying HAN Xiaona SHAN and Nina MITTELHAM apart from WINTER. The 16-year-old European Youth Champion Annett KAUFMANN was seeded first and reached the final where Sabine WINTER did not give her much of a chance in a 4-0 defeat. “I didn’t expect a 4-0 win. I had hoped that I could keep the match close. I’m incredibly happy that I was able to defend this title ” says WINTER. Sophia KLEE’S entry into the semi-finals confirmed the strong impression of the young players. The 13-year-old talents Josephina NEUMANN and Koharu ITAGAKI made history as the youngest medallists ever by surprisingly advancing to the doubles final. They had defeated the title holders Chantal MANTZ and Yuan WAN in the semi-finals.

Giorgia PICCOLIN (Centro Sportivo Esercito) was eliminated in the quarter-finals by VIVARELLI and ended the streak of four consecutive titles. “I am happy with this title ” said TAN “after the one in 2008. At that time my daughter Gaia was seven years old and was on my bench. After 15 years she’s still on the bench and she helped me to get this win. When I was very tired and I couldn’t take it anymore she told me to give her a good example. I wanted to be an example for her and for the other young players and I did it. I don’t train much but my husband encourages me to go to the gym to keep fit. When I’m in the field I absolutely want to win. When I arrived in Cagliari I didn’t really think to win but to do what I could. Above all I wanted to stay with Gaia. I hope next year in it’s her turn to clinch the title.” In the Men’s singles MUTTI become champion for the third time after 2015 and 2019. In the final match he overcame 4-1 his mate in Aeronautica Militare Mihai BOBOCICA. John OYEBODE (Tennistavolo Sassari) and Jordy PICCOLIN (Gruppo Sportivo Fiamme Azzurre) were placed third. The defending champion Niagol STOYANOV (Gruppo Sportivo Fiamme Azzurre) lost to BOBOCICA in the last16. “This title is special” – explains MUTTI – “because these days the centenary of Aeronautica Militare is celebrated and this is my gift. It’s a great satisfaction at the beginning of the season I didn’t think I’d be able to win and this result gives me the energy to keep on doing my best and to be more and more competitive in the international field as well. The semifinal against OYEBODE was very tough and we battled till the last point with various match-points in the sixth set in favor of Johnny who in the seven and decisive set was leading 9-4. He put in an excellent performance and I want to congratulate him. I had the strength to win a match that seemed an impossible challenge for me. I really wanted to play in the same way in the finals too. I know BOBOCICA very well we’ve met many times and from a technical-tactical and above all mental point of view I did my job very well. Mihai was good too I showed character and courage and I was rewarded”.
