Melissa:

“5, 4, 3. Rather happy.

Today, my best first match of a tournament. Usually, I’m nervous, my arm short, but today I was very good.

So, I admit that having my mom, honestly… I’m super proud to play in front of her, that’s really cool.

Also, I’ve worked on playing a slightly safer game of squash: winning without taking outrageous risks, and today, I’m happy, because right away, I was good.

I was very impressed by the way she took the ball, she is very tall, and sometimes you think that, given their height, these players are going to be a little slower at the front, but she played really well, she made me play a good first match.

I’m happy, with the coach, we did exactly what we had decided, and strangely, strangely, it worked… Everything went smoothly…”
