Unfortunately, today was a bad day for Anne and Norma, and Cyprus was too strong to be beaten in the semi-final. After a successful first set of the luxemburgish team (21-15) the second one was lost rather clearly 13-21 and the two teams had to play a tie-break. In this last set, Cyprus continued to score and it seemed that they had successfully adjusted their play after the first set, to benefit from the weak points of their opponent. Final result of the tiebreak was therefore 7-15 for Cyprus. So perhaps, the better tactic decided the game, but this is hard to say without more detailed informations from the players of both teams. (Results)
This evening, at their hotelroom, Anne and Norma have the difficult exercice, as always in this kind of very short tournament to forget the defeat and to focus on the 3rd-place-game that will take place tomorrow, in order to try to bring a bronze-medal back to Luxembourg.
Keep on fighting... yes, you can....
