The German Women's Team put on a tough fight against Austria in the Finals to win their sixth title in the history of European Championships.

 

Despite winning 3-0, it was a tight and difficult win for the Germans as they won the first 2 sets by narrow margins.

SHAN Xiaona (GER) overcame Sofia POLCANOVA (AUT) 3-2 in five games (5-11, 10-12, 11-4, 11-9, 11-7) in the opening set, while HAN Ying (GER) accounted for LIU Jia (AUT) 3-2 (9-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-5, 12-10) to establish a 2-0 lead for Germany.

In the third set, Petrissa SOLJA (GER) defeated LI Qiangbing (AUT) in three straight games (11-4, 11-3, 11-9) to secure the crown for Germany.

The next challenge for these top European teams will be to prove their skills on the world stage, at the 2015 ITTF World Team Cup, pitting against the top teams from the other continents.
