German side actual No. 2 seed in the best club competition of Old Continent now tops Group D with 3-0 score. Coach Danny HEISTER stated after the game:
“It was a very clear victory for us certainly because Torun missed two good players but it was important to win 3:0. Stefan had certainly the most difficult match against Pavel SIRUCEK. In set four and five however he was superior and has mastered it well. Now we are in a good position for the next matches to reach the quarter finals.”
Timo BOLL beat Konrad KULPA in the opening game to improve his 2016/17 individual score to 5-0. Six time European champion in Men Singles Event explains:
“Of course we were profiting from the fact that the two top players were not there or had failed but we were still concentrating on our game and Stefan (FEGERL) had a bit of fighting not only with his opponent but with himself because he felt not that well. It is good that he won and gets more self-confidence and we saved as a team a little power for the next weeks.”
Polish side couldn’t count on both Tomasz KOTOWSKI and Cazuo MATSUMOTO. Their coach Kazimierz WISZOWATY stated after the game:
„The team of Borussia Duesseldorf was much better than we did and deserved. We paid our apprenticeship with our young team.
