- We knew that we had be patient and to get good vibes here. That was the main goal. We wanted to feel the hall and to feel that we could play our game. We feel comfortable although it was an easy match, and it is good to have that feeling ahead of a tough game, Lea Palermo added.

Next: Stoevas
In the second round the defending European champions will be the opponents for the young French. The Stoeva Sisters had a bye in the first round but they are now ready to make their comeback to the international stage.
