How and when
did you start playing
table tennis? Who
influenced you during your
early years?
I started to play
table tennis when I was 5 years old. Both of my older sisters played
table tennis as well, and my father was the coach, so it was
natural for me to start this sport. I don’t regret that I was
born in a table tennis family. I am happy that sport is in our daily
lives.
This year you were crowned Hungarian
National Champion, did you feel before the competition that you had a
strong chance to win the title?
To tell the truth
I didn’t feel any chances to win it. But I had very good feelings
to play, and I was very focused on my matches. I didn’t play mixed
doubles, just doubles and singles so I had more time between the
matches to prepare for the other matches. It was a big surprise, and
I am so grateful to my small city and for my family who made this
possible. It’s such a big deal for us
What are your big goals for 2014 in
table tennis?
First of all to
making my consistency better in Bundesliga. And get some
possibilities at national team to play pro tours and improve my world
ranking.

Do you play in a league? Which club
do you play for?
Yes I play in
Germany. My club name is SV-DJK Kolbermoor. It’s in the the Bayern
area. I like the atmosphere there.
Tell us a bit more about your
experience with the Challenger Series, how is the level of
competition and will you compete in it again perhaps next year?
It’s a very well
organised competition. It’s also a high level competition, and a
good experience, and a good possibility to play very good matches. Now I am busier
because of my school, but if I have time I’ll play again.
What is it that you like about table
tennis as a sport which makes you want to keep playing and training?
For me it’s more
important what sport teaches to you. I like the travelling, to see a
lot of countries. I like the atmosphere of the competitions, to watch
the very good players. I like the speed in table tennis, and that it
improves your concentration like every sport but (almost) mostly
table tennis.

Do you think
girls in table tennis
should wear skirts or
shorts?
I like the last
years new fashion, that girls wear skirts. For me its more
comfortable and I like that every company improves the lady style.
Every year we get better and better equipment and clothing.
What is your most memorable moment
since starting to play table tennis?
To win EYOF in
Beograd in single and double.
To play final in
team at Europeans in Cadet and Junior as well.
To win the
Hungarian national championship.
To play in the
same team with my both sister at home.
What is your favourite training
exercise to practice and why?
Backhand-forehand-backhand-middle-backhand-forehand(from
backhand side)-and forehand. I don’t know, I just like to do this
exercise if I want to play safety and also to make foot work.

What do you like to do for fun when
you aren't playing table tennis?
I like to be with
my family, friends, and with my boyfriend. I like to go walking,
watch movies, read books, go to shopping centres and go for parties.
What is your best advice to other
developing table tennis players around the world for their success?
There is always hope!
