“Gyor 2017”, Elimination of tennis, Blerta Ukullaj

The Ukharay bee has been eliminated in the first round of tennis competitions, under the European Olympic Youth Festival (EYOF), “Gyor 2017”.

She was defeated by Sweden, Olivia Malm, 2.0 in sets, 6:1 and 6:0. Despite the support she had of dozens of Olympic members, she failed to qualify. Experiences in such confrontations led her to lose with profound results, but Blarta gives hope that international competitions can be achieved by work.

I'm not happy with the game. There were several factors that influenced, the opponent was not weak, but he was not also high enough to beat me with that result.

Little did the emotions, a little bit of the wind that caused you to lose some decisive points.

However, experience also affected because we have little game during the year in Kosovo, and this has a big impact.

I believe it has been a good experience for me to continue and work harder in the future, said Ukullaj, elected tennis player 2015 and 2016 in Kosovo.

The day before, even the other tennis player, Sun Mehmed, suffered loss with the same score of 2:0 (6:1 and 6:0)), from Irish, Connor Gannell. Blarta and Sun were the only tennis players representing Kosovo in “Gyor 2017”.
