Table tennis. Angers offers an exploit against Saarbrucken

In a twinkling evening, Angers has Saarbrucken 3-2. A win that raises everything since at the same time, Bogoria dropped against Roskilde!

The Angevins are decidedly incorrigible. Capable of the worst since four matches, they showed their best face tonight. That of the beginning of the year with a conquering state of mind and a dose of biting: these same ingredients that made Saarbrücken fall.

The evening's performances are to the credit of Andréa Landrieu, who is the world number 13 player, Patrick Franziska and number 57 Darko Jorgic. The Frenchman first offered the scalp of the world number 13. Overwhelmed at first by the backhand of his opponent, he gradually took the measure of the German. At the beautiful, Landrieu was not impressed by the stake, unlike Franziska, gnawed by the doubt. It is besides on a missed service of the German that the Angevin concluded at 12-10. Then at the end of the night, Landrieu gave the point of victory. In front of Jorgic, the young Loup made marvels on the backhand and smashed the Slovenian in three small sets.

At 2-0 for Angers, Lundquist and Chen-Ting engaged in a 40-minute battle that ended at the beautiful. It was finally the Taiwanese (# 45) who had the last word. Just like Franziska who also made the difference in the fifth round against Persson. But tonight, Landrieu was on a cloud. It not only allows his team to achieve the feat but he especially offers the right to his team to hope for a qualification for the quarter-finals. It will be necessary to beat Roskilde in a week.
