“After the first game day, the score in the KBDK playoff match is 1:1”, — write: sport.ua
“The match of Lesya Tsurenko? Things didn’t go their way early on, but overall, in the first set, Lesi’s level was enough to control the match. In the second, Pashek began to make fewer mistakes.
Paszek said that she was surprised by Tsurenko’s not too active game? Well, Lesya really played more passively than I would have liked. When Lesya started hitting more high balls in the second set at 2:5, it was entirely her idea, and it worked.
Katarina Zavatska’s match? Katya played better than she has played here in practice and in the tournaments she has played in the last few weeks. Literally several points were not enough at the end of the decisive set. Of course we knew that it would be difficult against Kraus. She was less wrong than we would like.
Did the rivals manage to surprise us with something? Apparently, we expected an easier match against Paszek. But in general, it’s a sin to complain, because we still got a point in that match.
Will there be replacements? Perhaps. We will assess the physical condition of Lesya and Katya and then make a final decision.
Emotions from the debut as the captain of the national team of Ukraine? It’s really hard. He gave a lot of emotions, especially in the second match. Not entirely satisfied with his work. Somewhere it could have been better, to choose different words or something. Not everything went perfectly.”
On the first day of play, Tsurenko beat Tamira Pashek, and Zavatska lost to Sinia Kraus. The score is 1:1. On November 17, the confrontation will continue, the leaders of the national teams – Tsurenko and Pashek – will be the first to take the court on Sunday.
