Few players give us their goals for this competition, and TTImpossible's team says they: "Good Luck" !

Jonathan Groth:

I'm ready for Europeans and look forward to play ! 

I will play groups in single so my first goal is to qualify me for main draw, in case I qualify I will just do my best. In team I hope we can win our first match against Slovakia.

This year, Michael Maze will not play again because he's recovering from a hip injury...

Patrick Franziska:

I'm ready, I practiced good and I'm looking forward to the Europeans.

In the Team Event, we are going for Gold, we have a very strong number 1 with Dima (Ovtcharov), Timo (Boll) has injury, that's not good for Germany, but I think that we are still a good team without him. 

In Doubles, Benedikt(Duda) and me have to start in the qualification, we want to have Fun and see how much is possible...

In Singles I want to Show my best table Tennis, that's all I want for the moment ! 

Daniel Habesohn:

1. Hey Daniel, so for the next European Championships, what are your goals in Single, Doubles and Team?

In Doubles is our goal definitly to get a medal. Team also, but the first Match is unfortunately against Germany. If we beat them, we would also get a medal, but it's difficult. 

In Singles I want to reach last 16.

2. Do you think that you can win because Timo Boll will not play for Germany?

The Chances are bigger, but they are still stronger than we are. I think we have our chances.

3. You will play ahead you spectators, it's suretly better for you, isn't he?

Yes, but there will be also a lot of German spectators, cause it's close. But sure we will have supporters :) ! Hope we will play better with them !

4. For this European, what blades and rubbers will you use?

Rubber JOOLA Rhyzm in both sides, and Blade Rossi Force.
