From the special reporter "Vijesti"
The moment has come for the second performance Thanks Kovinic at the Olympic Games, after she also competed in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
Montenegrin tennis player, who was in the company of sailors two nights ago Milivoje Dukić had the honor of carrying our flag at the opening ceremony of the Games, in the first round he plays against Maria Sakari.
The match starts at noon at the "Susan Lenglan" stadium.
The Dane is ready and particularly motivated, even though she played her last match in September last year.
"I feel fine. I had several sparring matches, they went well and I certainly needed more time to pass so that I feel more confident and trust my body and my tennis more. But, these are the OI and probably some adrenaline in the match will help me to make the edition better than what I expect", said Danka.
A motive is not necessary, the performance itself at the Olympic Games is something special.
"I'm only interested in what my level of tennis will be. And that's the only thing that can make me feel uneasy. Purely because I didn't compete for 10 months... Now I just feel the positive energy and the energy of the whole team and the delegation", Danka Kovinić added.
Sakari is a well-known rival, currently ranked eighth in the world.
"We have met several times and I think our score is 2:2. I know how he plays and what I can expect, I generally go with some of the most basic tactics, but the focus is on me - to do everything I can and enjoy the field as much as possible. It is important to see how much I can, how much I have done in this period and to give everything - I have no doubts about that, as well as to slowly prepare for the return to the field and competitions", concluded Danka.
