The Club Tennis Taula Ripoll faces a decisive matchday this Saturday to secure its continuity in the State Second Division, with a crucial game in Ripoll and awaiting other results.

The team from Ripoll has seen its situation complicate in recent weeks, moving from a relatively comfortable position to being in the relegation zone with only one matchday left. Recent defeats have completely turned the tide for CTT Ripoll.
Currently, the club is in tenth place with 14 points, just below CTT Sallent, which has 16 points and marks the safety line. Despite this difference, CTT Ripoll maintains hope thanks to having a favorable head-to-head record with the Manresa team, a factor that could be decisive for their permanence.
To achieve the goal of salvation, CTT Ripoll imperatively needs to win its match against Masquefa TTC. Furthermore, they will have to hope that CTT Sallent loses its match against TT Cassà, a team at the top of the standings that is playing for direct promotion.

"We arrive hopeful. We know that Cassà is playing for the league title and will come out to win. This is a point that can play in our favor, but first we have to do our job and win our match. The opponent has nothing to play for, but we know they won't just show up for a stroll."

Returning home after four away games, the possible reincorporation of a key player after an injury, and playing during Ripoll's Festa Major are elements that provide extra motivation for the team and fans. All decisive matches will be played simultaneously on Saturday at five in the afternoon, with tension and excitement at their peak.
