Meanwhile, Fikri said that they wanted to find a game pattern that made them calm. However, it was precisely this that the opponent was able to exploit.
“Earlier, our movement was quite slow, not as brave as yesterday. In the second game, after falling behind, we tried to force it, tried to be reckless, then we found a way,” said Fikri. (M-3)
“The implementation of the right strategy was only at the end of the match, we held the service and the first and second shots. From there we got a lot of points and the opponent was under pressure,” he added.
