The Swiss curlers led by Skip Silvana Tirinzoni need just one win at the European Championships in Aberdeen to reach the semi-finals.
Four-time world champions Carole Howald, Selina Witschonke, Silvana Tirinzoni and Alina Pätz achieved their sixth victory in their sixth match on Tuesday with a 6-5 win against outsider Estonia led by skip Marie Kaldvee-Turmann. The close result belies the fact that the Swiss controlled the match at the end with flawless defensive play and did not give the Estonians a chance to equalize and force an extra end.
Two victories for the Swiss men
In the meantime, the men of CC Geneva have come off their meandering course. After a 7:5 victory against the Finns and an 8:4 against the Germans, Pablo Lachat, Sven Michel, Skip Yannick Schwaller and Benoît Schwarz recorded four victories and two defeats.
Two wins from the last three round-robin matches against the Czech Republic, co-favourites Sweden and Norway, should be enough to advance to the semi-finals.
As in the previous defeats against Italy and Scotland, the Swiss, number two at the 2022 European Championship, could not avoid a completely unsuccessful end against the Germans led by Sixten Totzek. In the 5th end they faced a four-man duel in which they trailed 2-4 after leading 2-0. This time, however, the Swiss recovered splendidly. They turned the tide with three semi-detached houses in a row. (SDA)
