TTCLM Group A and B Round 6: Saarbrucken UMMC Sporting and Pontose won their games

Everything is clear in Group A and Group B of the 2017/18 Table Tennis Champions League Men as Round 6 is over: AS Pontoise Cergy – Dartom Bogoria Grodzisk Mazowiecki 3:0 Sporting Clube de Portugal – TTC Fakel Gazprom 3:1 Eslovs Ai Bordtennis – UMMC 2:3 Saarbrucken Tischtennis – Chartres ASTT 3:0

Reigning TTCLM champion Orenburg suffered a very first loss playing without their best three players: Dimitrij OVTCHAROV Jun MIZUTANI and Vladimir SAMSONOV. Sporting beat Russian side 3:1 without any influence on the final standings in Group A: Orenburg stays on the top newcomer Sporting enters quarter-finals as no. 2 while double TTCLM winner Pontoise continues in the ETTU Cup quarter-finals.

Last question in the Group B was: who will be the winner? That place belonged to Saarbrucken (5-1 win-loss record) while UMMC (5-1) goes to the knockout phase from the second place. German side tops the group thanks to better win in mutual clashes with Russian side.

Saarbrucken had an easy job against Chartres winning in straight games while UMMC beat Eslovs away as both sides didn’t play in their first line-ups. French team will play in the ETTU Cup Men quarter-finals.
