Last night I played Orla Noom in the first round of the World Open, held in Rotterdam, Holland. Playing the local Dutch woman, I definitely had the crowd against me as alot of spectators showed up to support Noom. I was very focussed on what I wanted to do in the match and played well to dominate the T and move Orla around. This strategy paid off and I won the match 11/6 11/5 11/4. I have a day off today as it is a split second round for the women's draw and I will get my first practice today on the glass court in Luxor Theatre. Tomorrow, I play World Number 8, Raneem El Weleiley who has been playing very well. I know I will have to play my best to beat her.

Thanks to everyone for their messages of support. It means alot
