Varela should be playing in stronger league already. She could be a good asset in some Italian/Turkish teams IMO.

what is your opinion about Melanie Shafmaster?

She has been doing very well overall. IMO Stuttgart plays better with her than when Kästner is on court.

1st semifinal Suhl vs Schwerin will be streamed here at 16:45 CET. It's going to require German VPN though I think. The TV broadcast on Sport1 will be somewhat dependent on how the darts tournament before will go, the beginning of TV broadcast is scheduled for 17:00 but it might as well start a bit earlier or later.

Suhl is in incredible shape
And Foley, what a complete and smart player she is in her very first pro season 
-
And Suhl reveals all weaknesses of Schwerin, which we saw in the season already.

Whereas Schwerin can barely put any pressure on Suhl. Foley and Sambale are running a 2 player reception most of the time and deliver perfect passes all the way, only towards the end of 2nd set Schwerin managed to make some decent serves.
-
I was just about to praise Foley's variety of options in attack and then three consecutive mistakes of her give Schwerin the 3rd set

Ahe just wanted to show, she's human.

Maybe she wanted to comfort Brancuska who also had a lot of trouble since the middle of 3rd set

-
OMG what a comeback by Suhl from 21:24 to 26:24
and that overpass from Reesink on a lollipop serve 
Also I wonder what the hell Koslowski was thinking to enter Grozer for Hölzig at the end of the set

-
I‘m impressed by the mental strength of the VfB team.

Playoff semifinal
Suhl - Schwerin 3:1 stats
MVP: Roosa Laakkonen / Britte Stuut
Schwerin having better reception stats than Suhl is ridiculous but then those stats were made by Schwerin's scout
Suhl with crazy attacking stats in the first two sets whereas for Schwerin probably all of Kok's points came in the last two sets. IMO everything is still wide open for the 2nd match on Wednesday, at home Schwerin will perform better and I can see them pushing to a decisive 3rd match.1st match Stuttgart - Dresden today 16:45 CET, stream here (geoblocked).
