Soraya de Visch Eijbergen through to round two at the Scottish Open Grand Prix 2015

Maak kennis met Joep Strooper!

In the first game I was able to take a rather comfortable lead from 7-7 onwards. My opponent Martina Repiská didn't push me too much into making unforced errors: 11-21.

The second game showed a different course, with Repiska constantly trailing by only two or three points up until 11-8. Luckily I quickly regained some of my usual level of play and took the match with 9-21.

My next match will be against Natalia Perminova from Russia, who beat Karin Schnaase in three games. Natalia and I know each other's game pretty well, so it'll be interesting to see who will come out on top tomorrow.

I'm ready!
