Manon Nummerdor-Flier, The Netherlands – We’ve been struggling for awhile, we’re a new team and we’re looking for victories and there’s progression but we’re not always getting results how we want them. To have this in the World Championships against a good team like China. (Heading into the tiebreak) It’s ours. We’re not going to let this slip. We kept our strategy like we played and that felt good. Our service game was strong, China was playing really well so they didn’t give us any points.
Marleen van Iersel, The Netherlands – We were saying to not change anything, to just keep pushing on our serve and do not pull back and put the focus on the sideout. We knew that the difference in the second set was so small that if we kept what we were doing it would come our way. Manon did a real good job today and we were together well. Our block defense has been our focus the last couple weeks and we’re very happy that we got to see it in the game today."
