The 16-year-old badminton player and defending U17 European champion represents her home country, England, in the team competition as mixed double player. Badminton Europe spoke with her about expectations, team play and possible pressure. 

- I am hoping to get through some rounds, but I am just going to take one at a time and concentrate on playing to the highest standard I am capable of.

- I always get nervous before games but I do not feel that pressured, I am just going to play the best I can while enjoying it.

- I already competed in the European Junior Championships two years ago in Mulhouse, and I had one of my best experiences there. So I am really looking forward to this tournament, it is very nice to be able to play for England.

Team player
