00:11What do you think of your match today?
00:14I think, well, like I mentioned, it's bittersweet.
00:19You know, it always sucks to lose, especially here in the semifinals.
00:24We had a chance to play for a spot in the finals.
00:29But I'm just glad that we're able to put everything out there, do our best, and we put 100%.
00:34We didn't come out with the spot in the finals, but I mean, I'm really happy of how far we
00:40came
00:40and how well we did this tournament and this match.
00:43So would you say this is the new breakthrough for you, making it to the semifinals?
00:48Definitely for us, it's something that we've been trying to work toward short term.
00:54So we're really happy that this happened now.
00:57We want to continue to do the same for the following tournaments for the rest of the year.
01:02I think that they're really solid.
01:04They put a lot of pressure on us from the start.
01:07And after the first set, during the second set, we were able to adjust a little bit.
01:11But on the third set, they just kept powering through and kept putting pressure on us.
01:17And there wasn't much we can do.
01:23And just now you can hear the entire arena was cheering for you guys during the second set.
01:28What do you think about that?
01:29I feel very happy, very honored that the Malaysian fans even came to cheer for us.
01:37It was a little bit unexpected, so it was great to hear that.
01:42I was really surprised that there were a lot of people cheering for us, especially since we're from the US.
01:48But I'm really glad that us US players were able to entertain the crowd and bring the level to here.
01:55So what's next for you guys? Any things that you are trying to make?
01:59Day by day, it's tournament by tournament.
02:02So next week is Singapore.
02:03We just have to go right back to preparing for that, no rest.
02:07Yeah.
02:08Yeah.
02:09Like she said, just next week, Singapore.
02:12Just going, tomorrow's a new day.
02:15Gotta prepare for Singapore.
02:17First match is on Tuesday or Wednesday.
02:19So we just gotta maintain our level and hopefully we're able to perform next week.
02:24Put everything out there again.
02:26Yeah, definitely.
02:26I think this was one of them for us.
02:29A semi-final of a 500 is something that we haven't accomplished yet.
02:32So that is the first step, I guess.
02:37And then, you know, following along with the next few tournaments coming this year.
02:41I think we want to get further and further.
02:44But of course, you just have to take it match by match.
02:48Thank you guys.
