Nevena Senior (Source 2010: EBU)
Started playing bridge during her final year at University, and her first husband introduced her to the game.
She is a Middlesex member and play almost all her club bridge in London-Andrew Robson’s bridge club, Young Chelsea bridge club, Ace of clubs bridge club and more.
National success: In Bulgaria her best achievement was winning the National Open Teams Championship. In England she’ve won numerous Ladies Teams and finished in third place, two times in the Crockfords.
Internationally, she’ve won 12 medals from European and World Championships for three different countries (on paper – as they are Bulgaria, Great Britain and England). Her best achievements were winning the European Ladies Pairs in 1987 in Brighton, winning the European women’s team in 2012, and winning the gold in the two Mind Sports Games Olympics in Beijing in 2008 and Lille in 2012.
In her free time she likes gym, jigsaw puzzles, reading, the Saturday Times crossword, football betting, cooking, concerts, cinema, and theatre. Unfortunately as she works as a bridge pro and live in Nottingham, it involves lots of travelling around the country, and lack of free time to do everything she would like to do.
Since writing this biography Nevena has added to her international success by winning a gold medal as part of the England Women’s team in the 2016 European Championships, silver medals in the 2013 Venice Cup in Bali and 2014 European Championships, and a bronze medal at the 2015 Venice Cup in Chennai. In 2016 she won the Swiss Teams event at the National Teams Congress.
