Women’s singles
Akane Yamaguchi: Defeats Abigail Holden 2-0
It’s been a long time since the Olympics, so I don’t feel like it’s the first match since the Olympics, and I think I’m able to face the team competition as usual. I’m glad I won the game straight and well today, but I was worried that I lost my concentration and made a simple mistake. It will be a match against a strong country from now on, so I think it will be more important to speed up and the accuracy of the shot. I would like to do my best to improve the quality.
(What did you learn from the Tokyo Olympics?) Even on the special stage of the Olympics, you can exert your usual strength. In this regard, the medalist felt that strength, and I think that was something I lacked. As many games continue from now on, I would like to create conditions and prepare mentally so that I can give my best performance in any game.
Mixed doubles
Yuta Watanabe (right) / Arisa Higashino: 2-0 victory over Ellis / Smith
WatanabeI was very excited and I think there are many people who support me in Japan, so I played the game with the intention of showing those people a good play. (Did you play with satisfaction?) We are not always satisfied, and I would like to look back on the game and discuss improvements and reflections with the coach.
HigashinoThe opponent pair has a fast ball speed and a fast (movement) speed, so I was conscious of not letting the opponent form a good shape.
