ITTF-European Championships Teams

 

Germany is looking to maintain their unbeaten status in the first phase in the Women’s Singles Event at the ITTF-European Championships Teams. On Tuesday they will host Luxembourg.

 

Luxembourg already suffered against leader 3:1, whilst German team beat Azerbaijan twice as well.

 

In Group A2 Netherlands also recorded three victories; over Croatia and Italy twice. However, the match in Italy went full distance, so we can expect thrilling game again.

This is not last match Nordic team. They will meet Belarus in the last round.

Austria is unbeaten in A5 and they will meet Portugal who suffered against hosts already in March. In A6 Poland is looking for an opportunity to level the score against Ukraine, who beat them in March.
