She played very good against Mitsuki ” explained DE NUTTE.

I am also happy that all three of us scored and proved our value as a team.”

Coach Olga MIKHAYLOVA explained: “Our two best players did not come so I had to improvise in the lineup. I thought about it for a long time and finally I made a winning one. The 0:2 score caught me by surprise but I believed I could beat Mitsuki YOSHIDA. And then I also believed in my players. We are very happy with the win.”

Jindřich BÍLA coach TT Moravský Krumlov said:

“The start of the match was like a dream. I didn’t expect that we could be one step away from a 3-0 win against such a quality adversary. But maybe Mitsuki got scared and then the other players too. As if they were waiting to see who would make the third point. It’s a huge shame a 3-0 win would be a ticket to the quarter-finals.”
