Pforzheim. Second division tennis club TC Wolfsberg ends the season with home games at the weekend. In the event of two defeats, the Pforzheimers could, in the worst case, slip from the current fifth to the penultimate place, but the eighth rank would very likely be enough to stay in the class.
Regardless of all of this, the sporting director Thomas Hell wishes for a positive conclusion. “We really want to win both of them,” says Hell, referring to the guest performances of the TC BW Oberweier this Friday at 1 p.m. and the TC Blau-Weiß Würzburg on Sunday at 11 a.m.
TCW talent David Fix is back from a tournament in France. And after 19-year-old Julius Hell made his debut on Friday last week, the time could now come for the youngest in the squad.
When asked whether Fix (born 2005) will debut over the course of the weekend, Thomas Hell says only curtly: “That can be.”
How it happens may depend on the number of injuries lost. It is clear that Marko Lenz, who had to give up last Sunday at 1: 8 at BASF TC Ludwigshafen, is missing. He suffers from a back blockage. Johann Willems, for whom the league leaders also ended prematurely, Tim Rühl, Julius Hell and Pascal Meis, who had to sit out for a long time, are questionable. You are at Wolfsberg to first determine whether it is possible on Friday.
It could be “pretty tight” in terms of personnel, says Thomas Hell. Not all men on the 18-name registration list are available at short notice.
As for foreigners, Hell announces “a French”. The Pforzheim tennis fans should definitely get something on offer. Hell would like 200 to 300 spectators. He does not assume that the Olympics or the warm weather will have a negative impact. From his point of view, only the school holidays have an effect.
The TCW has so far reached 6: 6 points, at the club from Oberweier it is 6: 8 before their last game of the season. After four defeats, Würzburg is now at 4: 8 points.
