[1] Nour ElSherbini (EGY) 3-0 Sabrina Sobhy (USA) 11-8, 11-4, 14-12 (38m)
Nour : It’s NEVER a simple match! At my age, and Sabrina is a tough first round, she has been playing very well. When I saw the draw, I thought it was a very tough first match of the season. This first match was tough, really tough, a little bit like “back to reality” after the summer…
I had a very hectic summer [Nour got married], a very busy one. It’s the dream of any girl to get married, we set it at the begining of the summer to be able to come back and not miss anything. It was, actually it was huge!
It’s a different phase, it’s a different life for me, I will still need some time to get used to it.
I’m trying not to change anything in my training, I live in the same area, same distance to the club, to my parents. I still didn’t have the time to go to Prague yet but hopefully, after Paris, I will go a little bit.
I’m happy with the new life, and I’m trying to take all the positives from it, and very happy to get through the hurdle of my first match…
