SAWETTABUT struggled with the Camille’s speed. Then Daniela played outsdanding match against Europe’s no one player POLCANOVA. I knew I had to finish the match with my encounter because they could easily come back. I remained focused and I fought for each ball. Our tactic proved good and I just kept on going and won 3:0.
