“I don’t think the game was in line with what we expected, in the first game we always used an attacking pattern and it was successful,” said Joaquin in a PBSI release.
In the second game, Joaquin assessed that the opponent was able to read the blows from himself and Indra.This makes them even more depressed and even play recklessly.
“In the second game, our opponents were able to anticipate our shots and we didn’t anticipate their attacks enough, so our play in the second game and third game was less consistent, we were in a hurry and carried away by passion,” he explained.
According to Joaquin, Lee/Wang appeared more organized and could play safe and then attack at the right time.
“The opponent’s advantage was that they were patient and played neatly, we lost when they played safe, they played safe and patient, then when there was a new opportunity to attack,” said Joaquin.
Meanwhile, Indra assessed that in the third game there was a stamina factor that influenced the game.Next, together with Raymond, Indra wants to improve his performance based on the lessons learned from the Korea Masters final.
“In the third game there wasn’t enough to kill him because he was running out of energy, so it was a bit difficult to find points,” he said.
“We need to increase our power and connecting balls, because when we attack against Korea, their returns are good and they can attack back, so we have to anticipate that in the future,” said Indra, who will appear at the 2025 Australian Open.
