Nailing the Sixth Title: Can TTC Eastside Berlin Make it Happen Against TT Metz?
Eastside TTC vying for sixth Champions League title victory - Eastside TTC on the brink of claiming an unprecedented sixth Champions League title
Alright, let's dive right into the thrilling world of women's table tennis! It's the return leg of the Champions League final, and the favored team is none other than TTC Eastside Berlin. A 3:1 win in the first leg has them in a comfortable position, ready to face TT Metz on Thursday (7:30 PM).
But, wait a sec! TT Metz isn't giving up. They need to win 3:0 or 3:1 to force a golden match. You know, where three random games with short sets decide the winner. Eastside has had its fair share of golden match victories, winning the semi-final against the defending champion Tarnobrzeg (Poland) this way.
Eastside is on the edge of securing its sixth Champions League title, following wins in 2012, 2014, 2016, 2017, 2021, and (if all goes as planned), 2025. Metz, on the other hand, has only reached the final once – yep, you guessed it – in 2025, where they faced Eastside and lost 3-2.
The Berliners are keeping their fingers crossed for Nina Mittelham, who has been injured but may make a comeback and coach the Eastside players again.
Andreas Hain, Eastside manager, is confident – but don't get too cocky, mate! "Every match is unpredictable, and things can go south real quick at the end," he cautions. "We've been outplaying teams for weeks, let's hope the good luck continues!"
