Bremen sweeps Düsseldorf off the table 3-0 in their home opener!

Today, September 5, 2025, SV Werder Bremen played a brilliant opening game against Borussia Düsseldorf at the ARAG CenterCourt and triumphed 3-0. This result marks Bremen's first away win against the record champions since 2013 - a real statement in the current table tennis Bundesliga season.

The Bremen players were in top form. Mattias Falck, Kirill Gerassimenko and Irvin Bertrand made the points clear for their team. Their performance not only demonstrated Bremen's superiority, but also ensured an enthusiastic audience.

Intense match with exciting sets

In the first singles, Li Yongyin from Düsseldorf met Mattias Falck. The start was anything but ideal for Falck, who lost the first set 2:11. But then he found his way back into the game and won the following three sets with 11:8, 11:9 and 14:12. His match point came from a direct return ace - a real mood booster.

The second singles match between Anton Källberg and Kirill Gerassimenko was emotionally charged. Although Källberg won the first set, Gerassimenko turned up the heat as the game progressed and won sets two to four with 11:8, 12:10 and 11:9. His celebration on match point showed how important this victory was for him.

In the third singles, Irvin Bertrand finished off the match against Borgar Haug. Bertrand dominated the match and won 3-0, although the scoring system caused some difficulties. Bertrand kept his calm, which only underlined his skills and his nerves.

Dejected Düsseldorfers

The defeat was painful for Düsseldorf. Källberg admitted after the match that the team didn't play their best table tennis and needed to improve significantly. With a current record of one win and one defeat, they need to recover quickly.

However, things are going really well for Werder Bremen. After a narrow 3-2 win against Bad Homburg, this is the second win in two games. A strong start to the season!
