Tsurenko said he reached the quarter-finals of the tournament in Tunisia

Ukrainian tennis player Lesya Tsurenko She reached the quarter-finals of the WTA 250 tournament held in Monastir (Tunisia).

“I think the second set in particular was a great match. I dominated most of the rallies in the first game, then my opponent changed tactics and it worked. I felt like my rhythm was a little bit off, I didn’t have enough time. So it was a great fight for me to feel the spirit of the match. I’m looking forward to the match tomorrow.” And I think I can do better.

How can I stay motivated to play in these conditions, especially in hot weather? I basically do nothing during the day to focus. I just recover, walk on the beach, do some light exercise in the morning, eat, relax. In my opinion, this is the secret of what you need to do to be match ready in these hot conditions. The match is the most important thing, so I don’t need to force myself to do anything else.

Do I love Tunisia? Yes, there is a very good hotel, there is a developed infrastructure, there is the sea and the beach, and I really love nature when there is sea or mountains. So I’m enjoying every moment and hope to stay here as long as possible.

As for our next match against Nuria Parrisas Diaz, I watched her play a little bit today. We haven’t met on the field before, but I’m looking forward to this match. I love playing tennis and I love being on the court no matter the conditions. That’s what matters,” said Tsurenko.
