STAMATOUROS is the new Greek champion in men’s singles 4th title for TOLIOU in the Women’s

George STAMATOUROS and Katerina TOLIOU are the Greek champions for the 2020-2021 season. The 22-year-old player of Olympiacos won his first national title in this event and reached the new milestone in his career. In the spectacular final he beat Giorgos KONSTANTINOPOULOS of Panathinaikos 4-3 after he recovered from the 1-3 back.

The 26-year-old girl of Panathinaikos justified her status as the 1st favorite and reached the first place for the 4th time (2015 2018 2019 the previous ones). In the final TOLIOU overcame her teammate in Panathinaikos Elisabeth TERPOU with games.

The winners in singles left the table tennis hall of the Peace and Friendship Stadium with two titles. STAMATOUROS also won the men’s doubles with his Olympic teammate Tasos RINIOTIS. TOLIOU and Konstantina PARIDI of Olympiakos kept the scepter which they have in the women’s doubles since 2019.

The player of Panathinaikos passed his game initially and managed with 3-1 sets to lay the foundations for the victory. STAMATOUROS however did not lose positive thinking and self-concentration he increased his performance and created the big upset. He added this title in the men’s singles Under 21 two years before (7-11 10-12 11-7 7-11 11-8 11-6 and 11-7).

In the women’s singles Katerina TOLIOU (number 1 on the table) and Elisabeth TERPOU (No. 3) met for the first time in a final.
