00:00It's still the same. We don't think too much. We have to take it step by step.
00:19Hopefully tomorrow's performance will be good too.
00:24Manti, are you too surprised that your performance in this tournament is very good?
00:35We are satisfied with our performance so far. Not that we are satisfied, but we are satisfied with what we have prepared for the training.
00:44We have our own game plan, so we will do better.
00:50Manti, the last time we played Popov Brothers was a very close fight. This time, it's much easier to win. Can you share?
00:59Maybe because the last time we played was in Pabang Moto, the shuttle was a bit late. We didn't have much of an advantage.
01:10Here, we played in front of the first three shots and we had an advantage. We took the chance to attack, so we could play better.
01:24Kaewoon, you said you were disappointed with your result in the World Tour Finals last year. Did that give you extra fire to prove yourself this year?
01:34Yes, we want to fight for every tournament. We want to get the best results for us. So this is a fire for us.
01:51For this tournament, you guys have been very consistent in the performance. It's like you know what to do, whatever preparation you do, it will happen.
02:00So tomorrow, can you guys have an answer on what to do tomorrow?
02:07We have to know what to do, but whether it will happen or not, that's the problem. We have to look at the on court, so we can't answer that.
02:20Why do you think you two can go this far in this tournament? What do you think is the main key?
02:27I think it's trust in each other. We have a lot of discussions with the coach and the fans, so we are more at ease.
