[ For Kuina, this is fun, in a way. It's not often she's sparred against stronger opponents. And facing a stronger opponent will surely help her get better.
On the other hand, this is Zoro, and he looks like he's having way too easy of a time with this. So her expression is halfway between "Yay fun sword fight" and "Why aren't you being pushed back yet?" She might have been prepared for this, but to see it in action is still a blow to the ego.
So she's going in with a few stronger moves now, quick combinations of strikes meant to push past somebody's defenses. ]
