Polish team has already won once with Taiwan this season – during the tournament in Foshan, last week, the result was 3:0, but in the second set they were close to failure. They did not perform their best in receiving, but Alojzy Świderek made several changes on court. Noone said in Kaoshiung it will be easier. – Our most dangerous rival will be Italy, but we can not also ignore the host team, Taiwan – says Joanna Kaczor.

Our player have much to prove to the Dominican Republic payers. Two sudden failures of the last year’s edition of the World Grand Prix should motivate the team of Alojzy Świderek their strength. On Sunday, at the end of the tournament in Kaoshiung, we will play against Italy. It will be a decisive match whether we stay or not in Ningbo. The victory with positive results from different groups may grant us promotion to the final tournament. The advantage of the polish national team is the fact that ‘Squadra Azurra’ will not play in the strongest composition. The main players stayed in the country in order to prepare to the Olympic Games in London. As a result, during the six meetings, the players of Marco Bracci won only one… with Poland in Łódź.

A day before the tournament, the white-and-reds seem to be relaxed, but very focused on the game in every single match. – We will not look at the rivals. We have to prove with our game that the place in the final should be ours – says Kinga Kasprzak.

The atmosphere of being ready to fight is interrupted by the typhoon which started two days ago. It is very hot and stuffy in here and it is constantly raining. We thought that leaking roof in Foshan hall is already a history, but the same problem appeared at Wednesday’s training.  The afternoon training schedule had to be limited, because the court have all been wet and the air conditioning in the building was broken. – It is strange that we have to play on such hall during the prestigious tournament – said nervous Paulina Maj. Luckily, our problems refer only to the training hall. The main arena of the tournament in Kaoshiung, despite the heavy rains, have not made any problems.
