qualified for the WC in kuwait!

i couldnt have had a better birthday than the one i just had. on the 24th of august i played the qualifying for the world open in kuwait and i made it into the main draw after winning the deciding match. as i was seeded in the top 16 of the qualy i was seeded to play one of the “weaker” players, which means players ranked between 70 and 100.. the draw was done and i had to play germany’s jens schoor, against whoom i ve played twice so far in some swiss local tournaments several years ago. we were drawn to play in the evening session, which means a lot of waiting. iin the waiting period i played some card games with my manager and answered all the nice wishes i got for my birthday..

i started really well into the first game, giving me a 3-0 lead, but then suddenly he started playing tigh and i wasnt feeling as well i was hoping to fell like. my movement wasnt there and i was pritty slow on court. i lost the opening game 11-7. in the 2nd i got better into the game, and he started to do some easy mistakes, and i won the game 11-7. in the 3rd i felt a bit better, he got tired so i won it 11-5. the 4th went very fast, giving me a 7-1 lead, then i twisted my ankle.. i didnt want to take an injury break, cos i could have disturbed me. i was lucky to win the game 11-8 giving me the ticket to kuwait..

i am going to the doctor tomorrow, but it doesnt feel as bad as it did 2 days ago. so i ll hope its not as bad, so that i can keep on training for the new season.

greetings
