But the main interested party obviously does not consider herself the favorite of this famous British Open: “Honestly, I try not to pay too much attention to it and devote myself to preparing for my week. I try to save energy, which is not easy considering the last weeks so intense that I had. I want to devote everything I have to the tournament”.
