Jha, on the other hand, was unimpressed by Franziska's return and cleared the first set. Franziska countered in the second, but JHA quickly found his shape and got the next sentences, which meant the equalization for Bergneustadt.

In the third individual, Cedric Meissner could not make the necessary capital against Adrien Rassenfosse. Racenfosse played mostly confidently and ultimately won 3-1, so Bergneustadt could take the lead. The mood in the team was already noticeable at a climax.

Eduard Ionescu expressed a positive statement about his own performance after the game, but also showed understanding for the disappointment of the team: "Unfortunately, we were not our day today, but we will do our best again in the next game." JHA, who was able to celebrate his first victory over Franziska, noticed modestly: "The season is still long and our goal is the play-offs." These words show that the young athlete remains focused despite the success and knows exactly what challenges are still waiting for him.
