Turkey: In Round 14 victory for all the favorites. Altekma snatches a point from Arkas in the Izmir derby.

Seven out of eight matches were played yesterday in the Round 14 of Turkish Efelerligi. Among the underdogs the only one to go very close to the upset was TFL Altekma that, in the Izmir derby, recovered 2 sets against Arkas (the inputs of Gurbuz and Hamit Yuksel Mandiraci were useful) before surrendering at the tie-break. In the other games, 3-point wins for Ziraat over Istanbul BBSK (without Coskun), for Halkbank over HaIiliye, for Fenerbahce over Bursa BBSK, for a revived Galatasaray (stops at 3 their losing streak) over Inegol, for Tokat over Solhan and for Sorgun against the modest Arhavi.
