01:26membantu Danielle menjadi
01:28pemain yang lebih versatile
01:29ketika di gelanggang utama.
01:31I think 100% now
01:35but when I first started playing
01:37it took a lot of time for me
01:38to get where I am now
01:40and it was very hard
01:41a lot of growth points
01:42and I'm glad that I put the effort in
01:44otherwise I wouldn't be here in Malaysia
01:46it's my first time here
01:47and I'm happy.
01:48I think it is a big part of my character
01:51I used to be a little bit too loud
01:53for my export table tennis
01:54so I'm glad that I found Pickleball
01:56and it could really help me
01:58be who I am
01:59and I think it helps how I play
02:02and I think it also helps my partner
02:04if we can control the energy of the match
02:06I think that's probably where we want to be.
02:08So I think we went out there
02:09like knowing that we can win
02:11and I don't think it's a massive surprise
02:12all that we can do is try
02:14and win our next matches
02:15and I hope we make it to the final
02:16and I think we knocked out the top seat
02:18so let's fucking rule, let's go.
02:19Yeah, I'm really happy
02:21I think we just went out
02:24with no expectation
02:25but just we played really well
02:28we were on fire
02:29and yeah
02:30we just played our game
02:31and it worked
02:32so very, very happy to get through.
02:34I didn't have like
02:35I wasn't nervous at all
02:37because I mean
02:38we're playing number two in the world
02:39which is very good
02:40so yeah.
