Grigoriu ultimately came out on top 11-7 to seal the win.
“Basically, I just stayed aggressive because I wasn’t aggressive in the second game and that’s why I lost. It was about staying aggressive and staying on top of my ball and staying solid. I played big targets and went on offense. I stayed solid and that worked,” shared Grigoriu.
She will face No. 4 seed Lea Jansen on Thursday.
What's the plan of attack, Madalina?
“I’m going to watch her play on YouTube,” said Grigoriu.
