Andreas Beck celebrates his first victory – but Ravensburg remains last!

Andreas Beck, 39 years old, shows in his time as a TC Ravensburg player that he is still ready for great achievements. On Sunday he played against Zino Preis from TEC Waldau II in the Württemberg League and won with a clear 6:4, 6:0. It was a ray of hope for TC Ravensburg, who had lost 9-0 in the previous two games of the season against SV Böblingen and the first team from Waldau. Beck has reached the second round at least once in all four Grand Slam tournaments in his career and even played against tennis greats like Novak Djokovic. Schwäbische Zeitung reports on this remarkable achievement.

In this first set against Preis it was initially a very even game, but Beck was able to set the decisive break point and thus secure the set. He then dominated the second set and gave his opponent no chance. This victory also marked the first point for TC Ravensburg in this third game of the season. However, that wasn't enough for the overall win, as Ravensburg couldn't score another point in the other five individual games and lost 3-6.

The season forecast for TC Ravensburg

However, Beck and TC Ravensburg are still stuck in a difficult phase, as they are bottom of the Württemberg League with three defeats from three games. Despite the results so far, Beck said that he will be back on the pitch next Saturday in the home game against TC Doggenburg to perhaps turn things around. This could represent a strategic new beginning for the team.

The victory of Marcel Krieg, another of Beck's protégés, was particularly pleasing, as his positive performance showed that the players' training was on fertile ground. While the team as a whole has suffered some setbacks, the hope remains that Beck's experienced hands and good influence on the young talents will soon bear fruit.
