00:00I'm not happy because they're in the top 10, but we prepared well for this year.
00:28We won last year, so there's a lot of lucky shots.
00:31From the receiving side, we want to do our best.
00:37So that we can get what we want.
00:44We will come back and discuss.
00:49One thing is that we lost last year.
00:53So we have to prepare well.
00:57We have to rest and discuss with the coach.
01:00We have a good result in the Malaysian Men's Doubles.
01:09For you two, do you think it's competitive?
01:16For us, it's good.
01:20For the Malaysian Men's Doubles, it's a good performance.
01:26We will follow their rhythm.
01:30We will catch up with them.
01:34The Malaysian Men's Doubles will be good.
01:36Feel proud.
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.
