Today we played Bulgaria, the seeded team in our group and home to one of the best european singles players - Petya Nedelcheva, Sarah had the unevenviable task of taking on Petya.

I played Dimitria Popstoykova, I was disapointed with my performance today, I found the shuttles very fast which lead to me not being able to control them.

Unfortunately we lost 5-0 today, but overall it has been a good experience for me, and some excellent performances by all members of the squad winning 2 out of 3 matches.
