Eefje en Selena: tevreden over niveau halve finale Swiss Open

Maak kennis met Esmeralda van Drunen!

In the first set we were struggling a bit with the game of the Chinese pair and we didn't have enough confidence to step up, move them and do the right thing. We changed that really well in second set and dare to take the rush to the net and be in charge. With a bit of luck at 20-19 we won the second set!

We played great at the beginning of the 3rd set. Good attitude, focus and right tactics gave us a lead of 10-4. Then the Chinese pair changed their game again and their focus was really good at the first 3-4 shuttles after service. We couldn't do anything with it and became a bit "afraid" by not stepping up again and keeping the patience. We kept fighting till the end and showed good attitude and fighting spirit but it wasn't enough. We lost the 3rd set 17-21.

We were close but just not good enough at the end. We will go back to practice next week and work hard again!

Thanks everybody for all the messages!
