00:00 Well, I mean, first game we were a little bit under control the way we started.
00:18 5-0, we got confident and we kind of adjusted.
00:22 It's difficult, the schedule was very fast today compared to the last three days.
00:27 In the second game, the court changed, it's quite fast from that side.
00:31 So it was quite difficult to control it.
00:33 They played really well, they did some good service and they were catching.
00:36 We lost some rhythm, then again in the last, I think Kudos to him, the way he served in the last.
00:42 It made it very much easy for me just to play one stroke and see what will happen.
00:47 But to serve in that nerves, it needs that gut to do that.
00:52 Even I was there in that situation, but I did to the net from 2019 in the last tournament.
00:59 But Kudos to him, the way he served and he kept under pressure.
01:02 Then it made my job much easier.
01:04 But I'm really happy the way we played today.
01:07 Well, I think from 2014 we sort of knew that it will be a big task to get that point.
01:17 But we didn't really think of anything but focusing on one point at a time.
01:23 I think if you start thinking of, oh you're just two points away or three points away, you need to push more.
01:29 You sort of start making mistakes.
01:31 So the important thing is to focus on that point and I think that's what we did right from 2014 till 2020.
01:40 We just focused on that point and didn't really think, oh we are leading or we are down or anything.
01:46 Do you have a pull off, Sasha, comeback before you throw out your career?
01:50 I can't think of. Probably from 2016 or probably 2015. I don't think 2015 too.
01:59 2016-20 in the Thomas Cup finals?
02:02 Yeah, 2017.
02:03 19-14 in the Thomas Cup finals, but not match point.
02:07 Not game point.
02:08 Not match point.
02:09 But 2017, I think that was more pressure situation.
02:11 Yeah, much more pressure.
02:12 I think if we lose, we lose the game. But here we have the third set, we have a chance.
02:18 So is that good?
02:19 Yeah, but in the Thomas Cup finals, that was more pressure situation.
02:24 But 2014, from really…
02:41 We wanted to start the year really well.
02:43 We want to see if we can push our 100% and see where we can stand.
02:49 Because it was a long time we played really good match, as in good tournament.
02:52 I mean Asian Games we played really well.
02:54 Then again, we were here and there, we didn't play well.
02:56 And China Open we played okay-ish.
02:59 I mean we played good, but we wanted to see where we are now.
03:02 So we really wanted to do well in this tournament, Super 1000, and see where we are.
03:06 And really happy the level we are playing.
03:08 And we are not done yet.
03:11 I mean we have so much in the tank.
03:13 We wanted to play much more good badminton tomorrow as well.
03:17 Whoever, they play Chinese or Japanese.
03:20 So yeah, looking forward to tomorrow's match.
