“Well I am great fan of American Football but I guess I will have to watch it here. I am feeling good and I am in good shape.”
Bernadette overcame defensive skills of Tetyana BILENKO in impressive style (4:11 6:11 12:14 9:11).
“I was well prepared for this match. I played a lot against defenders in my training center in Germany. I could not allowed to prolong the match to 2:2 or 3:3 because then she will have advantage. I feel comfortable now playing against such style and it is good thing that I do not have three defenders in my group like last year ” said SZOCS.
