TTF Liebherr Ochsenhausen vs. 1. FC Saarbrücken TT

1. FC Saarbrücken TT arrives in Ochsenhausen as reigning triple champions. The Saarland side is determined to defend all three titles, doing so with a reshuffled roster. Brazilian Hugo Calderano (world ranking: 8) and Spaniard Alvaro Robles (WR: 64) have been brought in to offset the departures of Fan Zhendong and Darko Jorgic - adding both world-class quality and experience.

It is also worth noting that the squad retains remarkable depth, with Patrick Franziska (WR: 18) and Romanian Eduard Ionescu (WR: 48) still on board. The roster is rounded out by Spanish international Albert Vilardell (WR: 254) and Italian talent Danilo Faso (WR: 215).

Despite the high-profile exits, 1. FC Saarbrücken TT has assembled a team that will have plenty to say when the titles are handed out this season.
