In match days four and five of the 2025/2026 Bundesliga season, the team suffered another defeat, which dampened the mood of the players and fans. On Saturday the team met TV Refrath and had to admit defeat with a 1:6 in front of over 70 spectators. Only Jarne Schlevoigt and Nikolaj Stuplich were able to win an honorary point in the first men's doubles when they won a thrilling three-set match against Alex Green and Marcelo Kausemann.
Unfortunately, things didn't go any better on Sunday against SV Fun-Ball Dortelweil. With a 0:7 defeat in front of over 80 spectators, no Mülheim player was able to win a set. A bright spot was Ciar Pringle, who showed a good game in the second men's singles against Victor Svendsen, but still lost. These results put 1.
