Rachel
We’ve been training together a lot in Florida this year, and in the summer too, so it was close, we know each other’s game.
We’ve played each other a few times now, I was very nervous and she played well. She has improved a lot, I feel, and I had to rally it up a bit longer.
Yes, I had a game plan, but I didn’t follow it at all! I was too nervous, so I didn’t execute it and I’m glad I closed it in 5.
Tomorrow, I’m playing Amanda. We’ve played a few games in training in Florida this summer, and maybe once in Hong Kong, she chopped me there so hoping for a better match tomorrow.
