Focus on myself, take initiative and be dominant on the pitch«.

I remember that my coach at that time told me that she was going to be number one in the world in two years… And that happened! For me it is an opportunity to play a great game and enjoy it and you never know the result in the end. I’ll give all I have» explained Buzarnescu, who is keen to face the No.1 in the women’s ranking.
