January was fruitful for POTA. “At the beginning of the month we won the German Cup. However also in December I played pretty good in Bangkok. I was third and for me it was an amazing result ” said POTA with nice smile.
In previous conversations many players placed POTA at the position of main favorite for the title at the 2015 NN Table Tennis Club ITTF – Europe Top 16 in Baku. “My expectations for Top16 are simple. I just want to play good and win as many matches as I can. It would be nice to reach the semi final. Top 16 is one of the strongest competitions in the year. Best European players are playing against each other. The season is still young and I have not chance to play with lot of them recently. I do not know what to expect.”
