Nordtal lost 5–9 in Ostheim after leading 3–0.

All three doubles went our way, the last of them a 3–0 by Albers and Wendt that took less time than the drive, and then the singles started and we won two of the next eleven rubbers.

Kraus and Ebert both beat Brandt in four. Ebert’s rubber against Yilmaz went to deuce in each of the first three sets, and Yilmaz won one of them. Riedel beat Lindner 3–0 and Novak beat him in five, and those were our two. Faber beat Riedel 11–5 in the fifth, and the Ostheim bench, all four of them, made more noise than our whole hall does on a good night.

On the minibus Albers said the doubles had been the best he had played all year. Nobody answered him.
