Strong Start for Rzeszów and Hodonín in Europe Cup Quarterfinal First Legs

In the opening leg of the Europe Cup quarterfinals, Poland’s FIBRAIN KU AZS POLITECHNIKA RZESZÓW secured a confident win over Novi Sad, while SON CLADERA TTC – Mallorca suffered a home defeat against SKST Plus Hodonín of Czechia.

In Mallorca, SON CLADERA TTC fell in four matches to the visiting Czech side. Despite a promising start in front of the home crowd, with Pauline CHASSELIN defeating Solomiya BRATEYKO, Karin GROFOVÁ turned the momentum in favor of Hodonín. She emerged as the backbone of the Czech team’s success, securing two crucial victories—including the fourth match, where she overcame CHASSELIN. Additionally, Markéta ŠEVČÍKOVÁ contributed with a win over Eugenia SASTRE.

In Poland, European champion from Schwechat 2013, FIBRAIN KU AZS POLITECHNIKA RZESZÓW, enjoyed a dream start against Novi Sad. Fen LI opened the match with a dominant straight-games victory over Tijana JOKIĆ, while the final match between Katarzyna GRZYBOWSKA-FRANZ and Sara RADAK ended with the same scoreline in favor of the home side.

The closest contest came in the second match, where Zuzanna WIELGOS faced Aneta MAKSUTI. Although the duel extended to four games, it did not produce major suspense, as Rzeszów maintained control throughout.

The return leg of all four quarterfinals is scheduled for 27th April. Previously, Saint-Denis 93 TT beat CTM Mirandela 3-2 and UNIVERSIDAD DE BURGOS – RM TERAN overcame Budaörsi Sport Club 3-1.
