“This is my third title in the row and I could not be more happier ” said DIACONU.
In the semi final Adina DIACONU beat Audrey ZARIF of France 4:2 (7 13 -7 -6 9 8).
“It was really important for me that I won the opening game. I imposed the control from the beginning. In second it was 7:7 8:8 before I won and with that advantage I was in control. I constantly changed the pace of the game and played very aggressive. The fact that I beat her in our previous encounter helped for sure. It was year or two ago ” said Adina.
MIGOT overcame Andreea CLAPA of Romania 4:2 (5 -10 7 7 -11 8).
“It was 3:1 and 5:9 but I lost the game. I had to change the tactics but basically I am very good in the game against left-handers. In addition it was our re-run of the semi final in Ostrava three years ago. I also beat her 4:2 at that time ” said MIGOT.
