00:30Tien Chee, Lim Chiu Hsien.
00:32Last night, he placed second in the competition
00:34by beating the pair of Prisley Smith and Jenny Guy
00:37in the rubber set, 21-17, 15-21, 21-10.
00:42He placed second in the semi-final of the Malaysian Super 100 2024
00:46in the Bukit Kiara championship.
00:48Tien Chee said that his thoughts were a bit disturbed by the second set
00:51due to some minor mistakes
00:53as well as he was looking forward to the final set.
00:57I think I made a lot of mistakes
01:01because I rushed a bit.
01:04I think I was thinking too much.
01:06Before I played this ball,
01:09I wanted to play the second or third ball like this.
01:13So, I rushed a bit.
01:15The timing was not right.
01:17Then, I made a mistake.
01:19I was a bit confident.
01:22Meanwhile, Chiu Hsien was still calm
01:24as he advanced to the semi-final
01:26when he was scheduled to play in the third round
01:28of the match between Yuichi Shimogami and Sayaka Hobara.
01:33Our target for this tournament is to win the podium.
01:37If we do well, we can be the champion.
01:40But when we play,
01:42we cannot think too much about the result.
01:49If not, we will think about it.
01:51If not, we won't perform.
01:54We won't perform our normal standard.
01:59Our target is the podium,
02:01but we will do our best match by match.
02:05Meanwhile, the women's team's coach,
02:08Ong Xin Yi,
02:09failed to beat the opponent from Japan,
02:11Akari Kurihara,
02:12when she faced an injury on her right back
02:15and her hamstring muscle
02:17causing her to fall in the rubber set 21-17,
02:2011-21, 4-21.
02:22However, Xin Yi did not make it an excuse
02:25instead, she made her opponent look better
02:27than her in the match against Cumaat.
02:29I didn't think too much
02:31because she was ranked higher than me.
02:35I was sad.
02:37I said that I was the only one playing.
02:41I just had no pressure.
02:43I played and enjoyed my game.
02:45Pull, pull.
02:47There was a little tear.
02:49It was on the back of your back.
02:51Yes, on my back.
02:52On the second set,
02:54I had a little cramp on my front leg.
02:57But it was nothing.
02:59My leg was injured.
03:01I couldn't go all out.
03:03But I went all out.
03:05This is not an excuse.
03:07I did what I could do.
03:10I could play.
03:12Even though she was not in her best condition,
03:14she still had to be praised
03:16for showing great determination
03:18when competing in the women's final
03:20against Carmen Ting at 7pm.
