“Even in the worst moment I always thought we could win this first game of the quarter final – said Kaziyski – because we have proved we were a team capable of fighting for the win right until the last play. Despite the difficulty, we never let ourselves be intimidated by the expecellent game played by Vibo Valentia and we managed to obtain this crucial victory. What I thought at 11-14 of the tie-break when I went for the serve? I did not think of anything to be honest, I just thought I had to do my best. I went for it and it went well but I was also lucky”.

Game 2 is on Sunday in Vibo Valentia “We have the edge but it does not matter that much because the series could last quite a while if Vibo continues to play at this level. Hopefully, this win helped us to break the ice and be more focused and ready for the next games. We will need more consistency and discipline in our game in order to go through”.
