Austria’s serial champions won the thrilling first duel at French club Etival Clairefontaine 3-2.
The tension in the last singles couldn’t be surpassed: Suthasini Sawettabut prevailed against the Chinese Jieni Shao, who has a Portuguese passport and who had previously defeated European Champion Sofia Polcanova, after a 1:2 set deficit with 6:5 in the final fifth set. The very last point decided victory or defeat.
It remains exciting – the second leg takes place on Sunday in the Lissfeld sports park (4 p.m.).
