The two team European champion lost on Saturday in the quarterfinals in 2: 3 sentences against the top sets Lin Taiyuan and Liang Jong-un from China. DADA from the TTC Schalke Bergneustadt and AIU von Russia Düsseldorf compared to a 0: 2 sentence residue (8:11, 4:11) to 2: 2 (14:12, 11: 8). The fifth passage is lost at 9:11.
The disappointment is great, we were so close, and we trained as hard — and in the end we missed two damn points, said the 27-year-old Dada. Unfortunately, we did not go wrong in the last sentence. Now we have to wait two years to the medal. Since the third place is not specially played at a table tennis World Cup, DADA and AIU have already had at least the bronze medal with the achievement of the semi-final.
Boll certainly has World Cup medal
Time Boll has reached the semi-final at the Table Tennis World Championships in Houston. The 40-year-old hit the American Kana JMA on Saturday afternoon (local time) in the quarterfinals in 4: 2 sentences. Since the third place is not played extra, the Record European Champion of Russia Düsseldorf has already secured the second World Cup single medal of his career. In order to go to the final, Boll now has to defeat either the Nigerian Quarry Arena or the 19-year-old Sweden Truly Regard on Sunday.
His quarter-final opponent JMA is only 21 years old and plays in the Bundesliga for TTF Lieder Sachsenhausen. Powered by its own audience, the Americans won the first sentence with 11: 4. Boll then brought a one-sided second (11: 5) and a highly competitive third pass (12:10), which directed the match in his direction. After the recent 11: 7 in the fourth sentence, the outsiders thus gained section five (11: 9). In the end, Boll used his first of three match balls (11: 7).
