TC BW Neuss Upsets the New German Champions with 4-2 Win

As soon as the pressure is gone, the TC BW Neuss strikes. At TC Bredeney of all places, the guests who had been relegated since Friday acted as party crashers and inflicted the only defeat on the new German champions this season with their 4-2 win.

The first victory in the eighth and last attempt was not really in the air at first. The Frenchman Clement Tabur lost against Mats Moraing from Essen in both sets in the tie-break. A deja vu experience. Pedro Sousa also ended the season in the blue and white jersey without a win (0:4 in singles), losing to Yannick Maden 2:6 and 4:6.

But then the turning point came: The again famous Geoffrey Blancaneaux defeated Maximilian Marterer in two sets (6:3, 6:4). And because the loyal Javier Barranco Cosano, still in action on Friday in the quarter-finals of the clay court tournament in Banja Luka (0: 6, 2: 6 against Fabian Marozsan), the former Davis Cup player Philipp Kohlschreiber with 6: 3 and 6: 1 dispatched, it was a 2-2 draw after the individual games. Team manager Clinton Thomson gave him a lot of praise for this: “Javi played tactically well.” Blancaneaux’s performance also found his approval. “He was able to maintain his level from the game on Friday in Munich, where he beat Zsombor Piros, and he served well.” But Tabur didn’t disappoint him either: “Clement had chances in the second set, but couldn’t make it.”

This time, the basement child knew how to use the template that was developed in this way. The doubles Geoffrey Blancaneaux/Antoine Hoang secured the draw for the guests with a smooth 6:1, 6:3 victory over Henri Squire/Julian Lenz. And Clement Tabur/Javier Barranco Cosano actually grabbed the victory point against Lucas Miedler/Bradley Mousley in the match tiebreak (!). But unfortunately too late…

Torsten Rekasch, sports manager at TC Bredeney since 2012, should be happy that the blue and whites have to go back down to the 2nd division. “Because since the lost promotion game in 2019, Neuss has somehow been our feared opponent.”
