Isla and Amina went on court at 10:30am to face Mariia Shybanova from Ukraine and Antonia Zielinska from Poland. We knew there would be a little bit of waiting around today so I left Isla at the club to watch the singles final while I walked back up to the apartment to get the bags and meet the owner to check out. Isla had a really good session this morning she was looking extremely sharp at the net and was serving very well so we finished around 9:15am so we could sweep the courts ready for the finals.
With that in mind we left our bags all packed up in the apartment and got down to the courts for just after 8am to make sure we secured a practice court. We had a bit more of a lie-in this morning as the finals didn’t start until 9:30am which meant that we could practise for an hour beforehand.
After a long week of training, competing, learning, fun, a few tears but lots of improvement from the whole team it’s always nice to be involved in the event on Final’s Day (even if it is to play a semi-final first!).
