Underdog table tennis pair from Anklam challenge national elites
In September, the table tennis scene in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is set to be vibrant with the participation of two promising players from TTSV Anklam - Lotta Hansow and Theo Jonas.
While Lotta Hansow has been making waves in the Youth 13 category, Theo Jonas is gearing up for a challenging double-header, competing in both the Youth 13 and Youth 15 categories.
Theo Jonas, who has qualified for the state rankings tournaments, will first be seen in action on September 13th in Rostock, where he will compete in the Youth 13 category. Notably, he clinched the state championship title in the Youth 11 category last season, finishing undefeated in singles.
However, in the Youth 13 category, Jonas narrowly missed out on the title after a valiant effort in the final, where he was defeated by a Rostock competitor, earning him the runner-up position.
Lotta Hansow, Jonas' clubmate, will also be competing in the Youth 13 category on the same day in Rostock. She will face the top 10 players of her age group from across Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
In the following week, on September 21st, Jonas will take the court again in the Youth 15 category, also in Rostock. He will be aiming for top placements in both September tournaments.
Lotta Hansow, who has been representing TTSV Anklam alongside Jonas, will also be a force to reckon with. Her performance in the upcoming tournaments promises to be exciting, as she prepares to challenge the best players in her age group from all over Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Theo Jonas, despite not having extensive public documentation of his achievements in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern table tennis tournaments, has shown promising potential and is expected to put up a strong fight in the upcoming state rankings tournaments.
Theo Jonas, having qualified for the state rankings tournaments, will compete in sports events, specifically table tennis tournaments, not once but twice in September – on the 13th and the 21st, in the Youth 13 and Youth 15 categories respectively, in Rostock.
Lotta Hansow, another promising player from TTSV Anklam, will also engage in sports competitions, participating in the Youth 13 category tournament on September 13th in Rostock, alongside the top 10 players from Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
