After winning the championship in the association league last season, TSV Untergröningen is now back in the fifth highest German table tennis league. The team’s start to the league was more than successful against TTV Weinheim-West II. After almost two hours of play, the scoreboard showed the score was 10-0.
A good double start
The two doubles teams ensured a good start to the game: Miriam Kuhnle and Cristina Krauß celebrated an easy 3-0 win over Heike Fuhrmann and Ute Reisig. At the next table, the newly formed Untergröninger doubles with Nina Merkel and Laura Henninger played well and only had to give up the third set to the guests Sabine Jakoby and Johanna Knapp.
Miriam Kuhnle wins 3-0
With a 2-0 lead behind them, the front pair crossed into the box. Miriam Kuhnle earned a 3-0 win over Johanna Knapp, while at the next table Nina Merkel had to struggle more with Sabine Jakoby’s game. After losing the first set, Nina Merkel kept her nerve and narrowly won the following three sets on her debut in the Untergröninger dress.
Laura Henninger gets the decisive point
Cristina Krauß had few problems in her game against Ute Reisig and contributed the next point with her 3-0 win and thus a secure draw for Untergröningen. Laura Henninger had to fight harder that day in her first singles match against Heike Fuhrmann. After she was already behind with 1:2 sets and 8:10, she again turned the deficit from 5:7 to 11:7 in the deciding set. She earned the winning point for her team in front of almost 50 spectators.
