Maciej Kubik challenges Yuto Muramatsu
The point for Mainz came from Japan's Muramatsu against Maciej Kubik. In the end, the favorite prevailed, but Kubik showed a good performance. The Pole even took a 2-1 lead. However, he did not manage the last step. Nevertheless, he was satisfied with his performance in the end. "It was one of my best matches against a defender. In the end I couldn't bring it to the finish line, but I'm happy with my game and happy that we won," said the 20-year-old. Muramatsu prevailed with two close set wins to initially keep Mainz in the match. However, he was then unable to prevent Mainz's defeat against Feng.
