Nothing to earn for Lüneburg in Berlin. Overall, Lüneburg proved to be too lightweight and could not challenge Berlin in any moment of the match. Especially the difference in serve/receive quality was evident. I do hope Michael Brinkley (L) can improve his reception soon. It will be deeply needed.....
For Berlin, after the weak start in Supercup, the momentum is slowly shifting back towards them. They looked really good yesterday, in almost every aspect of the game. Steven Marshall seems to be a perfect fit for the team, as he adresses general weaknesses in reception and defence. And they still have Kovacevic in the backhand. If Zhukouski stays healthy and further improves, i am convinced that they have an even better team than last year.
