Is diferent and a surprise that one women never really won a tournament on this circuit, many woman play but never get in to the top, and now they have one thing to be proud and one women in particular that brings the side and the percentage high of women in this circuit and others and get good results.
In future we will see not only more female in tournaments, but also more female winning tournaments, and not only online but also in live in huge tournaments.
Congratulations for her and keep nice and good results.
