-I am studying and will finish my last exams this July. So, currently the changes in my ranking is not as important as focusing on my trainings and finishing my studies. My highest ranking has been 40 and my goal after finishing my exams is to try to go up to top 40 again.
- My next important tournament is the European Championships and I want to do my best there, Zilberman tells Badminton Europe.
