Our day started with breakfast, a little time for treatment in the morning and preparation for our third match of the tournament. Our opposition was Sri-Lanka who finished third in their pool. Game time was a little earlier today at 12pm.
We had a relaxed warm up and went into the game confident that we could get our first win in the tournament. The first set saw some scrambling play and both teams took a little while to settle. The speed of play against Sri-Lanka wasn’t as fast as our previous two matches, but we were able to adjust and play our style of game. We put together a solid performance to win the game 3-0. A straight sets victory being a really positive step forwards against a team like Sri-Lanka.
We stayed after our game to watch Korea vs Vietnam then headed back to the hotel for some rest and dinner. After dinner some of the girls headed to the Night Markets while others went back to the stadium to watch China vs Chinese Taipei. We’ve all been enjoying watching some of the high quality play from some of the stronger teams in the competition.
The tournament rest day is tomorrow, so a more intense training is planned for tomorrow morning, and then some down time in the afternoon.
