“The final results are very positive, especially with the team we brought here,” underlined Fissette. Indeed, Belgium had to do without its best elements to face an American team that arrived in force and was widely favored. “This team had almost no chance,” continued the captain, particularly regarding his singles players Hanne Vandewinkel (WTA 278) and Sofia Costoulas (WTA 279).
The latter nevertheless performed very well on the first day. “The young people were able to learn and play high quality matches. Hanne and Sofie played excellent matches yesterday, and that is good for their future. The experience should encourage them to work even harder in the future” , summarized Wim Fissette, positively.
In the Billie Jean King Cup, in the USA, Wim Fissette takes his players to the slaughterhouse: “It will take a miracle for us to win”
Regrets remain for the captain, deprived of his best players. “It remains a shame that Elise Mertens (WTA 30), Greet Minnen (WTA 70) and Yanina Wickmayer (WTA 89) as well as the injured Ysaline Bonaventure (WTA 478) and Alison Van Uytvanck (WTA 484) missed this meeting against a very strong team from the United States”, with among others Jessica Pegula (WTA 5) and Emma Navarro (WTA 21).
Wim Fissette still calls out the best Belgian tennis women. “In view of the play-offs in November, it will be important to present ourselves with the best possible team. There should, at that time, not be any program problems,” he said in conclusion.
