Women's Table Tennis: TTC Eastside Pursuing Sixth Champions League Crown
Eastside targeting sixth Champions League triumph - Eastside TTC on the brink of claiming its sixth Champions League triumph
Let's take a closer look at the upcoming Champions League final showdown between TTC Eastside Berlin and TT Metz. After a dominating 3:1 victory in the initial leg, Eastside holds a solid advantage. Yet, they can't afford to slip up in the rematch on Thursday (7:30 PM). Even a 2:3 loss would still allow them to snag the title.
However, it's a different story for Metz. To force a winner-takes-all "golden match," they'll need to score a 3:0 or 3:1 victory. Should this happen, three randomly selected matches with short sets would determine the champion. It's a format that Eastside knows well, having claimed victory over the defending champions Tarnobrzeg (Poland) using it in the semi-finals.
With five Champions League titles already under their belts, dating back to 2012, Eastside is fiercely close to securing another one. Metz, on the other hand, has only managed to reach the final once before, suffering a loss against Tarnobrzeg back in 2023.
Injury-plagued star player Nina Mittelham was a guiding force during the first leg, despite her coaching efforts off the table. Eastside fans are crossing their fingers that she'll be able to suit up for the final showdown.
Eastside manager Andreas Hain remains optimistic but issues a warning: "Every game is challenging, and fortunes can shift rapidly. We've been exceeding expectations for weeks, and we're banking on that momentum continuing."
