Tereza Mrdeza put a resistance versus a younger opponent. “We know each other for a long time, she is a quality opponent, she started to play better, managed to keep on the rhythm, but well. All in all I knew I have nothing to lose. Considering this is my third tournament after the surgery and that I came to Bol after a 10k tournament and she after Roland Garros, it is all cristal clear” – said Mrdeza

The Luxemburgian Minella was impressed with Bol. “This tournament has a fantastic organization. I wish every tournament was like this one. It is hosted on the hotel courts and Bol is like in paradise. We have an excellent Spa, food is great. On the other tournaments you have to travel a lot between accommodation and it is not as nice like here.
