Despite a complicated game against PiacenzaAs expected, the adventure in the championship playoffs begins well for modenagood at making her Game 1 of the quarterfinals after five hard-fought sets. “We were good at working in somewhat complicated situations. In the second set we had seven counterattacks in the first eleven, twelve points and that was the negative point in this run.

Well done to bounce back in the tiebreak, winning it after going 0-4 bodes well. is the photo of the game taken by Andrea Giani.
