Sweden's ladies won their second consecutive group match in the European Championship team table tennis in Croatia. In the fifth and decisive match against Austria, Stina Källberg won against Nina Skerbinz with 3–0 in sets.

It is incredibly comfortable. I am incredibly proud of us and hope that we will take a medal this time, says Källberg to SVT.

It was a dramatic match against Austria. Källberg had already lost today's first match with 0–3 against Sofia Polcanova.

Then Sweden bounced back with two straight wins by Sweden's number one Linda Bergström and Filippa Bergand. In match four, Bergström did not manage to close the match and everything was decided between Källberg and Skerbinz. But there everything went Sweden's way when she won with three straight sets

It is of course a different feeling to come into a decisive match and have everything to lose really. But her playing style was quite comfortable for me. She played quite aggressively and came around often on her forehand, says Källberg.

With the win, Sweden won the group and is now clear for the playoffs as group winner.
