01:46The first set was easy.
01:53But in the second set, the opponent started to read our game.
01:57So it was hard for us.
01:59They're not in good condition.
02:01They can't play long rallies.
02:05So I had to think of a strategy that we could use.
02:10From there, he could only touch me once or twice.
02:14Then I tried to cover him.
02:17Do you have any symptoms?
02:19No, I've been sick lately.
02:24I feel a bit better today.
02:27But I think I have to get my condition back.
02:32Did your experience help you today?
02:37Yes, definitely.
02:39In the second set, the opponent managed to find the rhythm and momentum of our game.
02:45They gave us a tough time on court.
02:48They were leading quite a lot.
02:508-4 and 9-5.
02:52It was our experience that got us through.
02:57We didn't put ourselves under pressure.
03:02We were very firm with what we were supposed to do.
03:05So that got us through the match.
