The fact that she has nothing to lose helped.
“I knew who is on the other side of the net. She was the favorite from the very first minute of the game. It gives me freedom to be less stressed. I just went there to show my best.”
Audrey’s service game was very powerful.
“I put a lot of variation and surprised Adina. She did not know what to expect and that give me certain advantage. Also my attitude was very important. I was brave I believed in my game and I attacked. I did not let Adina control the game.”
ZARIF suffered defeat in only one match at the tournament. She lost her encounter against Andreea DRAGOMAN of Romania.
“This is the tournament where everything can happen. Every girl can beat every one. It was difficult when I lost against Andreea but I was very happy after my victory over Tin Tin Ho. She beat me in quarterfinal of the European Championships in seven games duel. It was very important victory for me here ” said ZARIF.
Audrey is playing for French St. Quentin in French Pro A but she lives in Belgium.
