My Memorable Experience Paragraph

My memorable experience

It was the summer of 2017, where I was in the plane travelling to Israel for two weeks with my boyfriend at the time. It was going to be a tough tournament as I was competing against women who have any age, when I was only sixteen. My goal of the tournament was to achieve a world ranking. I had to start from qualification, which I succeeded in by beating three girls. The final round to make the main draw of the tournament, I was up against a local Israeli girl, in which there was an overwhelming crowd support for her. There were no doubts that I was driven by my goals and dreams with heart in it and also had just as much support from my boyfriend at the time, who also competed in the men’s tournament. The location

Just like the first set it was a close start but I got my rhythm back and tried my best not to give one point away. With this mentality I won the third set 6:3. My opponent barley wanted to shake my hand from frustration as we walked off the court. My heart was pounding from happiness and could not wait to give my family the good news.
