Both the ladies 50 and the men make the team success perfect in their tennis point games in the doubles games.
Before the summer holidays, a number of league teams were in action at TC Grün-Weiß Herzberg. In addition to the women’s 50 and men’s teams, the youth teams also played in their last games of the series.
The ladies 50 traveled to Hedemünden for the third league game and brought home a 4:2 victory. Again only two individual victories could be realized. Doreen Pralle won the first set in the tie-break and then made the match clear in the second set 6:1. Ute Koch-Grotheer’s game was a little tighter. After equalizing the set, she won the match tie-break with 10:6. The exciting match tie-break in Heike Gertig’s game went extremely narrowly to the hostess at 10:12 after a clear lead. In first place, Heike Bartels couldn’t find a way to score points against her opponent despite the highest effort – the doubles started with a 2:2 lead.
The tactically clever line-up then turned out to be a good decision. Safe and almost flawless, Bartels/Gertig scored 6:2, 6:1 in the first double. The duel between Pralle and Koch-Grotheer was characterized by many long games over the debut. But with 6:3, 6:4 the women from Herzberg prevailed and ensured the overall victory. The team is now second in the district league. Relegation is not in danger, although there is still a postponed game in August.
