Fenerbahce will play against Berlin Eastside in the 2013/14 Women`s European Champions League final. Turkish champion and WECL no. 1 seed lost at home from Zamek 3:2 (9:10 in sets) in returning semi-final match, but secured the final thanks to bigger advantage from first leg – 3:2 (12:8).

After that victory everything was easier for the host side, despite HAN Ying beat HU Melek in straight games of second match.

With world`s no. 26 CHENG I-Cheng on 3<sup>rd</sup> position, Fenerbahce had almost fixed win. Renata STRBIKOVA (no. 91) was not able to take any set from Taiwanese who was the best Fenerbahce`s player during the group stage.

Viktoria PAVLOVICH didn`t need to beat HAN Ying to secure the final for her side, but she took first two sets. German won in five games to improve her individual score to 12-1. JIA Jun provided the win for Zamek, beating HU Melek in five sets.
