Taiana Lima, Brazil – “Our pool is really hard, with two Brazil teams and Switzerland. The first win is a very important start to the tournament because another match will be really hard. I am very happy. Last championship I played against Barbara. After each point Barbara was very vocal, it shows how important each point is. Whenever you play against one of them it is always close, 2-1 in games.”
Barbara Seixas, Brazil – “I feel really happy honestly. I know that you always want to win, but it’s the first game and we have a long way to go. So I am not going to be too disappointed. I am happy to have a new partner and I hope that we can really come back and enjoy the atmosphere. We don’t have much time to be sorry. We need to slow down the rhythm a bit, rest, prepare and talk about what we need to do in the next match.”
Fernanda Alves, Brazil – “Good to start against a really good team, when you get those challenges you get stronger. Now we have more time to get ready for next opponent and there is no need to panic.”
