European Men’s and Women’s Team Championships ended last week in Kazan, adding important points to the rankings of European players.
Anastasia Chervyakova/Olga Morozova (Russia) moved one spot up on this week’s women’s doubles world ranking list and are currently world no. 24.
-It’s not the highest results for us, so it’s ok. It feels great to be in top 25 in the world. We must work harder and play more tournaments to be in top 20 or top 15, Morozova tells Badminton Europe and adds:
-We’re going to play three tournaments before the European Championship. The goal is to compete with the world class pairs and show our best performance.
