Francesca Saroli Plays first Tennis Europe Tournament in Alicante, Spain

Hi everyone!

This last week I played a Tennis Europe tournament in Alicante, Spain, in the Juan Carlos Ferrero Tennis Club, but was not successful at all, I lost all my matches. I tried too much to play perfectly when in fact it would have been better to just try to play a tiny bit better than my opponents. They say we learn when we lose, that means I have learned quite a bit… My coach Christophe Couprie promised he’d help me overcome these problems in the coming weeks and months.

I lost the Qualifier against Farah Heddar (UTR 7.75)
I lost the first round against Cristina Ramos Sierra (8.65)
Farah Heddar and I lost to Ekaterina Kislitsyna and Sofiya Krinitsina

I lost the Qualifier against Farah Heddar, then was a “lucky loser”, got into the main draw, but lost against second seed Christina Ramnos Sierra. I partnered with Farah Heddar but we lost to the pair Ekaterina Kislitsyna and Sofiya Krinitsina.

I hope I’ll do better next tournament!
