Staying in the league is in danger: Grenzach faces crucial tennis duels!

This weekend, TSG TC 1923 Grenzach/TC Grenzach-Wyhlen have crucial games in the Baden League coming up. The team, currently ranked seven out of nine teams in the table, has a serious problem: with only 2 points from 4 games, the pressure to collect the necessary points as quickly as possible to stay in the league is enormous. On Saturday they will meet TC Weinheim 1902, who are in fourth place with an even score of 4:4, and on Sunday they will face TC BW 64 Leimen, who are currently in sixth place with 4:6 points. Schwarzwälder Bote reports that the club is under great personnel pressure.

Chairman Thilo Kaltenbach expresses great concern about the current personnel situation. The team's number one, Maxime Mora, is in the USA, while Jacob Kahoun looks after a Swiss Davis Cup player. The backup solutions already planned are also not available due to injuries and vacation. This forces the Grenzachers to compete with only six players. Despite the adverse circumstances, the team wants to fight; Arian Hasas and Martin Poplawski will be there, but the final line-up will be decided at short notice.

Opponent analysis: TC Weinheim and TC BW 64 Leimen

What can you say about the opponents? The TC Weinheim is led by Vito Tonejc, who has a performance class (LK) of 1.6. He is supported by Moritz Hoffmann, who plays in three of four games, and other strong players such as Torben Steinorth (LK 1.4), Tim Heger (LK 1.5) and Noah Zeiger (LK 1.5). On the other hand, TC BW 64 Leimen expects the top player Dusan Milanovic with the LK 2.4, followed by Matthieu Roy (LK 3.5) and the players Jan Sebesta (LK 2.0) and Valentin Masse (LK 2.0).

In a more recent encounter, which was documented by BTV, the Grenzachers were only able to score once. The first singles match between Arian Hasas and Philip Florig ended 3:6, 3:6; Jacob Kahoun also had to admit defeat. A 15-minute delay and numerous defective balls were noticed, which led to additional complaints about the quality of the Dunlop balls used. Baden Liga has published all relevant details about these games.

A look at the conditions in the tennis association

The situation in Grenzach also sheds light on general operations in the tennis association. This winter, the 2024/25 season, the association is offering a variety of events in different districts. Preparations for the 2024 summer competitions, including the junior and mixed competitions as well as the beach tennis league, are also in full swing. A look back at the past seasons from 2023 to 2011 shows that the BTV is constantly active in promoting tennis and the efforts to enliven the game through exciting events are not letting up.
