00:00Women's doubles there's still a lot of rotation that happens and get to use a lot of the court which I really like
00:06I get to play more badminton
00:11I mean, we are part of the women's doubles group. So we do train together
00:15Okay, so what are the
00:17What are the positives you see in them?
00:19Because you know, they're just coming up
00:23They look up to you
00:25They have better facilities
00:27When compared to when you all started
00:31I mean, there isn't any point comparing the past
00:33And I would say currently
00:35The youngsters do have a lot going for them
00:37Which is very good to see
00:39In terms of sponsorship
00:41In terms of support
00:43In terms of funding
00:45In terms of training
00:47So everything is
00:49So it makes a huge difference
00:51I mean, we do have players who are doing well
00:53But like I said earlier, it would be great if we had
00:55More than just one pair each event
00:57And that's what I feel like as a nation
00:59When you really need to strive to do
01:01To get more pairs
01:09Well, I've played against her
01:11Last week at Malaysia Open pre-quarters
01:13And I lost 18-21, 11-21
01:15So I think less than a week I've made quite some progress
01:17And it's difficult to gain
01:19That much of margin against the current world number four
01:21In less than a week
01:24So I think I've done pretty well
01:26But a few more points needed to work on
01:28But I'm overall happy with the performance
01:30And I would like to thank the wonderful crowd
01:32That was there today
01:34It was amazing to play on home soil
01:36And all the best to all the youngsters who were there
01:38And the unforced errors coming in
01:40After the first game you started off well
01:42Then in the second game
01:44There was a backstroke
01:46You could have killed
01:48One backhand shot we really loved
01:50Was a one backhand return
01:52That could have led to better results
01:54Do you feel that?
01:56I think so, yes
01:58A few unforced errors were there
02:00But I think I found it a bit difficult
02:02To adjust to the condition from the second side
02:04And I could see that many other players as well
02:06Were facing the same issue
02:08That one of the games in the three games
02:10Was quite one-sided
02:12So even though I was trailing in the second game
02:14I did very well to come back
02:16But somehow things could not work
02:18But I definitely have a great learning lesson
02:20So next time I play against her
02:22I will make the necessary corrections
02:24Do you think you took out a bit more time
02:26For training here
02:28When coming to India
02:30Before the tournament
02:32We saw you training
02:34Day before when you were there
02:36In the main court
02:38Do you think that a lot more time is required
02:40Before such tournaments
02:42To get used to the conditions
02:44A day or so
02:46I think the time I got was quite sufficient
02:49As we progress into the tournament
02:51The lighting is different, the crowd is different
02:53So it makes certain changes
02:55I wouldn't say that I would require more time
02:57But just that
02:59I need to get myself more adaptable
03:01To the situation
03:03How do you see it now
03:05You will get some time off now
03:07You will take some rest
03:09You will analyse, you will regroup
03:11How do you see the road ahead
03:13The road ahead is quite tough, quite steep
03:15But as I have done pretty well
03:17I have been giving quite consistent performances
03:19Which has helped me raise my ranking
03:21From late 40s to 27
03:23That was updated yesterday
03:25So I think I am going to continue the same momentum
03:27It's a lot of hard work ahead
03:29But I have qualified for the All England
03:31And I am in the race
03:33To qualify for the World Championships as well
03:35So 2025
03:37Is going to be packed with major tournaments
03:39And I am looking forward to good solid performances
03:41Can we expect a headline
03:43Malviya Kapil Scott
03:45Yes
03:47You can
03:49Thank you so much
