Ovtcharov leads DTTB quartet in Europe Top 16 quarterfinals

Montreux (SID) With world number one Dimitrij Ovtcharov (Hameln/Orenburg) at the top, a quartet from the German Table Tennis Association (DTTB) reached the quarter-finals at the Europe Top 16 in Montreux, Switzerland. Ovtcharov showed no weakness at the start of his first game as number one in the world at an international tournament in the round of 4 against local wildcard starter Lionel Weber 0-XNUMX. In addition to the defending champion and World Cup winner, record European champion Timo Boll (Düsseldorf) and former European Championship third-place finisher Bastian Steger (Bremen) as well as last year's third-place finisher Sabine Winter (Kolbermoor) made it into the top eight for the men. Ruwen Filus (Fulda) and the Mixed World Championship third-place finisher Petrissa Solja (Berlin) were eliminated in the first round. From the DTTB perspective, Steger provided the highlight of the round of 0. The team Olympic silver medalist duped the French European champion Emmanuel Lebesson 2-4 despite being 2-XNUMX down. Steger will be the next opponent of world number three Boll in a German quarter-final duel on Saturday evening (4-0 in the round of 16 against Stefan Fegerl/Austria). Ovtcharov, who can extend his top XNUMX record streak to four successes in Montreux, will meet the Greek defensive artist Panagiotis Gionis.
