At the Bavarian table tennis competitions, some local athletes were at the forefront. The Lower Franconian duo Sophie Ott (Viktoria Wombach) and Sophie Deichert (TV Hofstetten) won the women’s doubles competition in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz. In an exciting final, the two prevailed against Lea Fath (Hofstetten) and Johanna Dietrich (Regensburg) in five sets. The last round ended with 11:9 for Ott and Deichert.
Versbacherin Lilli-Sara Popp reaches the semifinals in doubles
In the semifinals, the duo had previously defeated the second Lower Franconian doubles Lilli-Sara Popp (SB Versbach) and Kohura Itagaki (TSV Bad Königshofen), also in five sets. The decisive round also ended very thinly with 12:10. In the singles, Popp, who will be 15 in a few days, and Itagaki, later winning Laura Tiefenbrunner (Kolbermoor), both made it to the quarter-finals.
In the men’s category, the youngsters Lorenz Schäfer (TTC Kist) and Konrad Haase (SB Versbach) both made it through their preliminary rounds, but were eliminated in the round of sixteen. Kohura’s brother Akito Itagaki prevailed there against the new kid Luis Kraus from Kolbermoor, but then dropped out in the quarter-finals. In the end, Matthias Danzer from TV Hilpoltstein won. In the mixed doubles, Schäfer reached the final alongside Kohura Itagaki. Tiefenbrunner and Kraus won there.
Finn Braunz from Waldbüttelbrunn reached the final in the B tournament
In addition to the Bavarian championships of the strongest, the title fights in the B class also took place last weekend in Salzweg, Lower Bavaria. Finn Braunz and Maximilian Interwies started there for TSG Waldbüttelbrunn.
While Interwies was eliminated as an ungrateful third in the preliminary round, the only 15-year-old Braunz prevailed as the group winner. After a bye in the first knockout round, the young talent had three successes in a row. In the final, Braunz was unlucky to lose to Walter Ohms (TSV Zusmarshausen) in the fifth set 9:11, making him the Bavarian runner-up. In doubles, Braunz and Interwies were eliminated in the quarter-finals after five contested sets.
