There was. They switch between the tables frequently.Hopefully Winter Vs Kaufmann is played on the TV table, there was no Kaufmann-Byun to watch...
Winter didn't use her anti really much though from what I saw to disrupt the rhythm and Kaufmann had a service plan it seemed and it worked.It was interesting that Kaufmann had an easier time playing Winter than playing a chopper.
Kaufmann largely stayed away from it for sure and her serve and third ball was effective. They didn't show game 3, so the ending was off camera but it felt like Kaufmann studied what Nagasaki did and has an effective template. How well Sabine plays against lefties is going to be a topic going forward.Winter didn't use her anti really much though from what I saw to disrupt the rhythm and Kaufmann had a service plan it seemed and it worked.
What kind of injury does she have? Having it still affect her so close to all the individual continental events coming up over the next few weeks is not good for her....Here are the scores for today's matches:

Not much to say about the first match. Hursey was available again. The doubles were close and Rakovac put up a good fight against Hursey. This is Weil's first win this season.
Weinheim's match was a weird one. Winter's injury from weeks ago that forced her to forfeit yesterday made her unable to play today, but she was in the line-up and forfeited all her matches as a result. She was unbeaten until yesterday's match against Kaufmann. Chien and Wan make a good doubles and beat Byun and Pranjkovic. Wan automatically won against Winter so Chien and Byun was the first singles we got to see. Unfortunately Chien is not great against defense. The one game she won after starting to loop into Byun's backhand, but she doesn't loop chops back-to-back too well when she goes for it and was just out of it in the last game. Usually she is pretty good at defending attacks, but Byun's attacks all caught her off-gaurd. Matiunina had her 1. Bundesliga debut today and won her match against Pranjkovic comfortably after the first two tight games. She is very good at keeping the ball on the table when pressured and does not back off. Jeger lost a close first game against Cosic, was down 5-10 in the second game and went on to win it 12-10. Pinning Cosic down in the middle and making her hit a forehand into Jeger's forehand for her to punish it with a wide forehand worked really well. Unfortunately at 10-10 in the third game in a similar situation Jeger twisted her knee (I think) while reaching for the wide forehand. She immediately went down and was in a lot of pain. They cooled it and the ambulance was even called, but it didn't look like they could do much. The ambulance was still in the parking lot when I left so not sure if she was going to be transported to the hospital. So the match went to Cosic who btw received a yellow-red after throwing her blade after the second game and not going to the table after the umpire called for time twice. Wan went on to play Byun and was down 0-2 after finding her rhythm against the chops and forcing the match into the decider. Unlike Chien she looped the chops continuously. I'm not eactly sure what happened, but at 8-8 she was bothered by something and made two easy mistakes and lost the match. She was still annoyed after the match, but I couldn't tell what it was. Matiunina meanwhile beat Cosic 3-0 and was finished before Wan. So it was finally a win for Weinheim after a terrible first half this season, but Jeger will be out for an unknown time. Weinheim will have a break until March. I don't see Jeger recovering until then though and she already has issues with her other knee.
There is a total of four matches during next week's extended weekend. I will make another post soon.
Problems with her adductors. She can't move as well as she wants to. She already sit out during the German Cup finals, but it persists.What kind of injury does she have? Having it still affect her so close to all the individual continental events coming up over the next few weeks is not good for her....
