Mariam
“Well, I feel good mentally & physically on court. I’m really glad with my performance lately. Today I was so hungry on court.
I remember last tournament I played Nadine in blackball. After the match I heard her coach telling her that she could win 3/0 so today I wanted to do so. So I kept those words in my mind until we meet again on court. I think 3/1 sounds good too.
I guess I’m on the right track mentally. & I’m ready to keep pushing forward. Tomorrow is a new day. A new chance to move forward so I’ll just keep doing my best to get the win.”

“I feel very fresh, very focused, in the mood to play good squash. I was trying to attack any time I had the opportunity to. Really looking forward to playing again tomorrow, I feel like the court benefits my game.”
Zeina
I was focused at the beginning, I didn’t want her to get into the match at all. Third game I was in charge until I was 6-2 and then started to make some errors. I’m happy that I managed to win that third game and also to get through. Very much looking forward to playing tomorrow again”.
