Here is my prediction on what will happen tonight:

Düsseldorf (I think they are playing as the home team) will start with Kallberg at 1, Timo at 2 and Karlsson at 3.
Saarbrücken will have Shang Kun at 1, Franziska at 2 and Jorgic at 3.

Kallberg VS Franziska: Close call, Kallberg probably in better form but Franziska often rises to the big occasion: 2 - 3

Timo Boll VS Shang Kun: Kun to strong for a slightly out of form Boll: 1-3

Karlsson VS Jorgic: In the battle of the Nr 3s K2's steady lefty-blocking game frustrates Jorgic and Borussia are on the scoreboard at last: 3-2

Kallberg VS Shang Kun: This is Kallberg's chance to shine and he plays well but doesn't quite do enough to keep the comeback going. The experienced Chinese player takes it and gives Saarbrücken the Championsleague to add to last season's Bundesliga title: 1-3

Match Score: Düsseldorf: 1 Saarbrücken 3
I think Timo wanted to play Shang earlier rather than Franziska. 6 straight points from Boll in the decider...

Wow. 0:4 down in final set (to 6) and still Boll reversed the game. Nerves of steel with all the experience.

But Mr Bak, surely anyone who makes it to the top 10 (!) of the world is exempt fron this sort of speculative discussion.

Also, the equipment needs of the top pros really don't offer any clues (imho) as to what suits the amateur player.

Wow, Källberg on fire. Looks so technically sounds, a bit like Jorgic. Need to follow Källberg a bit more..

Yeah, I think there's a strong case to be made for Källberg being the best European player at the moment. Read Boll saying somewhere that the extra pandemic time for training has really suited Kallberg who has been working harder than anyone at Düsseldorf.

Pleasantly surprised that my prediction was 100% wrong.:D

He has been playing really well in the German league:

(Although just realised that he's not played Gauzy or Calderano, which could happen this Monday when Düsseldorf take on Ochsenhausen.)

Very sad a fantastic matche like this with closed doors. If I'm not mistaken, Borussia has lost 8 of the last 10 matches against Ochsenhausen (Hugo always playing very well against Timo). Last meeting was in the 2019/2020 Bundelsiga semifinal when Ochsenhausen won after losing 2-0.
