[18] Farida Mohamed (EGY) 3-1 Amina El Rihany (EGY) 10-12, 11-6, 11-6, 11-2 (37m)
Farida : She is very fit.
Today I tried something which is very new on me, to control the game more with a slower pace. So I was the one playing slow, which is something I’m really proud of today.
I felt really really comfortable, I felt like I was in practice. I used more tactics instead of just going for winners and stuff. I told myself I was going to go for longer rallies, until she would get tired.
I enjoyed the game pretty much. It was my first time diving, and it was very fun!
I train with both Ahmed Shohayeb, Vito, and Ahmed Effat, both now working in the States and here, they switch, so at the moment, Vito is here and Ahmed is in the States, an then, vice versa.
Vito has been coaching me since I was 6, so he knows me very well, today felt really comfortable. It’s been a while since I had him in my corner in tournaments, so I really enjoyed it.
