00:00I feel like you're still full of energy.

00:21Were the opponents not that tough?

00:24Tough, tough, tough.

00:26I think every match is a tough match.

00:28We have to think strategically,

00:31we have to be focused physically and mentally.

00:35So it's intense for us in every tournament.

00:40Even though the first set was easy,

00:42they lost by less than 10 points.

00:44I think that point is a bit far,

00:46but in court, I think they have their own advantages.

00:51We try to make fewer mistakes in court,

00:56and try to put pressure on them.

01:00What about the wind?

01:01You said it was difficult for them to adjust to the wind.

01:06What do you think about the wind this afternoon?

01:09I think it's stronger than Tuesday.

01:13This is a fair stadium,

01:16everyone has played in this court.

01:19So it's fair.

01:21We try to get used to it as soon as possible.

01:28Bro, you made it to the quarter-finals.

01:32And last time, you broke the rules.

01:36You broke three rules.

01:38So you made it to the quarter-finals.

01:41Do you feel relieved? Or is it still not enough?

01:45No.

01:46I don't think we've had the best result in the quarter-finals.

01:55It's all in the past.

01:56As an athlete, I don't like to lose.

02:03I feel it.

02:04It's the same for us.

02:06But we do our routine every day.

02:12That's the most important thing.

02:14So let's not think about tomorrow.

02:18Let's rest and recover well today.

02:21And then we'll do our best tomorrow.

02:26Can you tell us about your strategy for tomorrow's match against Japan?

02:36I've played against them a few times.

02:39As Tang Jae said, let's rest and do our routine.

02:46I'll discuss it with Coach and Tang Jae.

02:49We'll do our best tomorrow.

02:52What about the fans?

02:55They must be very happy.

02:57They cheered for us on the first, second and third day.

03:01I'd like to say thank you to all the Malaysian fans.

03:05All the fans cheered for us and supported us.

03:09We hope we can do better tomorrow.
