There is no need to overplay the enthusiasm this season in Pro A ! The elite of Table tennis French is a model of suspense. Luckily, the more the championship advances, the more indecision grows. We thought Caen dropped, in the antepenultimate place in the standings? He has only gained one rank since, but he is only four lengths behind the three leaders. Four points, so that’s what separates the first from the seventh. But a victory earns three points and defeats can also be remunerative (3-1 is one point, 3-2 is two points).
Everything is still possible
Ping enthusiasts can only appreciate the scenario. But simple sports fans, faced with a strange period, would be wrong to deprive themselves of it, too. The supporters of Caen thus keep the hope of a formidable comeback of their favorite club. While six games remain to be played, everything still seems possible even if it would take extraordinary results and a small combination of circumstances for the TTC to create the huge surprise of the title.
Villeneuve capable of brilliant shots
In the meantime, the Caen table tennis players have no room for error in the face of the red lantern Villeneuve-sur-Lot, this Friday, April 2, 2021 (7:30 p.m. live on the Facebook page of Sport in Caen). Whatever the way, they need the three points to hope to catch up with the middle of the table before big direct confrontations. But the Villeneuvois are in good shape since they remain on a fine victory at La Romagne, with in particular two successes from their Ukrainian leader Yevhen Pryshepa.
Wang Yang two years older
Winner 3-0 of the first leg, Caen TTC can however approach with confidence this 14th day. Especially since the return of Antoine Hachard is hoped for, after two forfeits due to a strained biceps, and that the workforce for next season is taking shape. Wang Yang, the team leader “fell in love with our city” according to his employer, has extended for two seasons.
