Tatyana Mashkova, Kazakhstan - “I have some experience in World Championships but I’m playing with a new partner, she’s younger. I tried to help her to do some things better and we won. We were a little bit nervous with it being our first match here, and we played against a good, hard team. Today was a little bit weird with the wind, it wasn’t a hard wind but depending on what side it can help or hurt. I think we played better than our opponent because we had fewer mistakes.”
Ievgeniia Shchypkova, Ukraine - “The first game the wind played a factor. We thought we could win but it was a good game. We will go watch video and talk about the team we are playing (Australia); we want to win that one."
