A strong signal to the competition

The German was able to tighten up her game and reverse a poorly started situation by overcoming two sets of handicaps to win the start by throwing her team back on track (2-3).
Between a formation clearly cut out to play at the top of the table and another guided not to go down through the play-downs, this new victory for the Vienne players did not suffer from any dispute, even if everything did not go well. unfolded as planned.
Indeed, the Poitiers TTACC 86 had to work hard and raise the cursors. Like his No. 1 Jianan Yuan, who had to show all his seriousness to get the better of the best Argentine player Wang. Indeed, after second and third sets at loggerheads (9-11, 9-11), the Frenchwoman was able to take a good breath (0-3). It was a free warning that the visitors did not necessarily heed, since during the third match, Andrea Todorovic faltered and was picked off by an Austrian, less well ranked, after a fifth and final disputed set (2-7, 9- 9, 11-9). While Argentan Bayard was already not unhappy to steal a point, Jianan Yuan was authoritarian to ward off the threat from De Stoppeleire (0-3) and offer a sixth victory in seven games to his team.

The only downside is Andrea's disappointment (Todorovic) who loses in the last round. There is very good osmosis between everyone, we are a little more calm than other teams. I am very happy and I hope that we will continue as long as possible. However, we are still not officially maintained, so nothing is decided, we must remain careful, the championship is very homogeneous. » But in the meantime, the Poitiers TTACC 86 dominates it.
