Patrick Decker vs. Tobias Slanina & Yoan Velichkov (3. Tischtennis Bundesliga Nord 2024/25)

Описание: Yesterday we played our last game of the series in front of a home crowd from over 100 spectators against a strong, balanced team in the midfield, TTC Altena.

In the doubles with Hardy I've won convincingly and confidently 3:0 against Yoan Velichkov & Teodor Yordanov (12:10 / 11:8 / 11:7) plus our second double also won 3:0 agains Tobias Slanina & Mauro Schärrer. So we had a good starting situation.

In my first single match I had to play against young left-handed player Tobias Slanina whom I was able to defeat for the second time in a row. This time with 3:1.

Especially in the second match I noticed that the long time without training was noticeable (meanwhile over six weeks). Against such a strong player who trains two time a day, the subtleties in the serve and return game as well as my finisher blocks and smashes are missing. So I lost my match against a really good and upcoming talent, Yoan Velichkov, 1:3 (last time I have won). The result was absolutely justified. All in all I can't be dissatisfied with a balance of 6:6 for a season with virtually no training.

Now I'm going to cure my cold and start training again for the second half of the season. With a score of 6:10 and seventh place in the table, we are doing quite well as a team so far. It should also be mentioned here that we had other players in the our team who were in poor health and injured. So things can only get better in the future.

I wish you all a nice December, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. ✨

We'll see each other again on this channel in January 2025. Please leave me a like and a subscription, it means a lot to me and I would like to continue to grow my YouTube channel.

Thank you again for your support!
