After reversing the victory over Okuhara Hope in the morning, He Bingjiao said: “It’s still very tired. But after winning, the nervous mood has calmed down. The first games of these games have not been handled well, so I have to summarize it carefully when I go back. After losing the first game, you must calm down in the second game and start from scratch with firm confidence. The stadium is a bit up and down. At the beginning of the third game, I was on the unsuccessful side and wanted to bite the score. After changing sides, I feel better. Playing a little more, I have more and more confidence. There are a few smashes and wins with a longer momentum. At that time, I thought about letting me kill a few more later. Okuhara hopes that the level has always been relatively high, and every time I play against her It’s not particularly easy, but I can only prepare myself for the difficulties. My confidence comes more from the usual practical and hard training.” (Red)
