PT-75 was too difficult an opponent this time, thanks to a strong performance by Otto Tennilä. Tennilä beat our number one player Lassi Lehtola and Madis Moos. Tennilä also came close to deciding the doubles, but our pair of Moos and Johan Pettersson won a thrilling five-set match by saving several match points in both the fourth (15-13) and fifth (17-15) sets.

The last match against Oulu was fast moving towards a clean victory, before the opponents fought for a series point by coming from a 0-4 deficit to a narrow 3-4 defeat. 

– My own game was terrible today, but the main thing is that we won the series, says Lassi Lehtola, who was the best player of those who went through the full regular season, playing all 28 games, with a match ratio of 22-6.
