Berlin is under pressure: Return against Weinheim decides the championship!

In an exciting first leg of the play-off finals of the women's Bundesliga, the TTC 1946 Weinheim and TTC Berlin Eastside met. The match, which took place in Berlin on June 28, 2025, ended after 3 hours and 17 minutes with a 5: 3 victory for the guests from Weinheim. A crucial shortcoming for the host was the lack of 18-year-old defender Yuka Kaneyoshi, who could not compete from her college in Japan due to a lack of approval. Her absence was noticeable because she is a top performer for the Berlin team. Overall, the TTC Berlin Eastside had already played 37 games this season, while Weinheim could only land 18 absolute hits, which also complicated the initial situation.

In doubles, the Berlin team struggled. The game began with a 1-1 in the doubles: While Mia Griesel and Kathrin Mühlbach were foreheaded and rewarded their opponents, the Berliners Sabina Surjan and Josephina Neumann lost to the duo Chien Tung-Chuan and Yuan Wan. This was followed by some gripping single games. Sabina Surjan lost in a clear 0: 3 against Yuan Wan, followed by a narrow defeat of Mia Griesel against Chien, which ended 3-2. Josi Neumann could not build on her previous performance and finally had to give up.
