00:07 Yeah, I'm still happy to manage to win the game today.
00:10 I lost in the first set.
00:11 And again, it's a tough opponent.
00:14 He beat me before.
00:15 Yeah, in the past, we've seen--
00:17 I mean, you have also mentioned this in interviews.
00:20 Sometimes when you're really, really pushing yourself
00:23 in the first game, and then when you don't get that win,
00:27 it throws you off in the second game.
00:28 But today, you managed to come back after that first game.
00:31 So what did you tell yourself?
00:34 Like I said, just now, I think the confidence
00:36 that I found in Thailand kind of helps
00:40 me to manage the disappointment in the first set.
00:45 So I think, yeah, like I said, I'm
00:49 happy that I can manage the pressure today
00:53 and take down the game today.
00:55 I'm trying to solve this kind of problem.
00:57 So I mean, as a professional, we have a problem.
01:02 So this is one of my problems that I
01:06 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:08 Like I said, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]

01:17 It's one of the tests before I go into the preparation
01:20 for Olympics.
01:20 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:22 [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:30 I mean, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:34 I mean, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:41 Like I said, [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
01:43 I will manage, cool down myself, and play my best performance
01:47 again today in the second set and third set.
01:49 So I mean, it's something positive.
01:52 I don't know tomorrow [NON-ENGLISH SPEECH]
02:00 CJ, can you share about your improvements
02:02 since the Thailand Open to now?
02:04 Your thoughts on your own?
02:08 Well, like I said, this is a test for me.
02:11 And I mean, from what I did in Thailand Open,
02:15 I mean, it's a good start.
02:16 And I just hope that I can bring all the positive things
02:21 to the next one, which is this tournament.
02:23 So yeah, like I said, it's a challenge for me.
02:26 Let's see how I manage.
