The wet qualifications did not suit the Czechs in Ostrava. No one replenished the trio

Martina Williams and Anna Pospíšilová, who got together on the sand only a month ago, started great against the world nines Germans Svenje Müllerová and Cinje Tillmannová and were close to winning the opening set. But the favorites managed to erase the loss and won the match in two sets (21:19, 21:15).

“I would not see it negatively. Anička and I are playing in the second tournament, so we are practically just playing, side out (loss) and service were not bad at all, we just did not keep the lead, “described the more experienced Martina Williams.” I have not played such a high tournament yet. It was great for me. experience, and although I lose the loss, I really enjoyed it at home, “added the recent player of six-volleyball in TJ Ostrava Pospíšilová.

“The Australians did not play their best, they were probably tired of the tournament in Turkey, from where they flew to Ostrava. Unfortunately, we didn’t take advantage of it, “Trousil said.” We made more mistakes, it decided. We argued a bit about that in defense, but it was our first real match, so we don’t have to be ashamed of the performance. lost, “added 17-year-old Oliva.

The tenth team in the world rankings watched the process and escorted the last Czech couple, who took part in Wednesday’s program, from the central court in two sets (21:13, 21:18). “The Swedes pushed us, we made a lot of mistakes. We already felt much better in the second set. But the defeat is not sorry, the opponent was better, it is a valuable experience for us, “said Waber.
