00:003, 2, 1, start!
00:14Yes, this is still not enough.
00:21There are too many young athletes.
00:26I can't pressure them.
00:30What are the advantages of competing with them?
00:33What are the advantages of them that make it difficult for you guys to compete with them?
00:38They are more calm.
00:41Most of the time, in the first set, we give them points.
00:47There are too many young athletes with points.
00:51It's very rare to see you making a lot of unforced errors.
00:59Is it because of your physical condition?
01:04I think it's just not enough patience today.
01:07We just try to kill the shot, maybe a few shots, then just keep coming the unforced errors.
01:14I think this has to be learned.
01:17In the second game, we did better.
01:20But in the crucial time, we still made some simple mistakes.
01:24I think we need to revise that.
01:28Next week, the Indian Open is coming up.
01:32What is the plan for you?
01:35Are you going there early?
01:38How is the preparation?
01:40I think for now, we still have to keep our focus.
01:47Aaron, do you have any issues that make it difficult to be 100%?
01:55No.
01:57Sure.
01:58Coach Min Chen is your last man.
02:01Do you have any advice for him?
02:11This is my last game with Coach Min Chen.
02:16We appreciate what he has done for us.
02:20We did a lot of good results with him.
02:23We hope he has a better career soon.
02:27We will restart our career and try to come back stronger.
02:34You said you could have given Coach Min Chen a bigger send-off.
02:41Do you feel sad?
02:47Yes, I do feel sad.
02:51But we have achieved a lot.
03:00For example, in the Paralympic Games in Paris.
03:05I mean, how do you say in English?
03:10So this was not unexpected.
03:14Thank you guys.
