‘I won in women’s singles in two sets. In the beginning, it was a little bit more difficult, I was losing, but I didn’t surrender even though I thought I would lose. It was awfuly hard and very hot on that side of the field. The place where I first played had a different air conditioning, wind was blowing a little and all this had an impact on the ball. However, it was much better on the other side and I was much more confident,’ said Dorotea Sutara, the player of the University of Zagreb.
