The tennis player of the LOVE 4 TENNIS Academy Karina Morgosova (22) is already 378th in the WTA rankings! The move in the rankings is the result of her advance to the second round of the tournament in Egypt (ITF, $ 75,000+H).
Karina has won three matches in Egypt, two of them in the qualification. Morgosova has beaten even four seeded Cabeza-Candela of Spain in the main draw and that brought her 22 points for the WTA rankings. “I was losing from the beginning, but the play was balanced. But then I got better at the crucial moments. With every break ball I tried to gain a point and I succeeded. I was pushing her and she started to make mistakes. Her tennis was annoying – higher lifted balls from forehand and great angles. But I was more patient than her and I could usually wait for a suitable ball,“ commented Karina for the website love4tennis.sk. “I can describe the tournament in Egypt in a good light. I had a great preparation with coaches before. But I regret that I lost in the second round so there is still room for my improvement.” Karina has already left for Turkey where she is playing two ITF tournaments ($ 10,000, clay, outdoor).
