This opponent played for the first time. I felt that I was still a little crazy on the court and was not active enough to mobilize. I felt that I was still a little worse about the game. In the first few games, I always thought that I was as I imagined when I took action in the first few games, but I often made some unnecessary mistakes, and I was still a little anxious."

You can still deal with your opponent when you are in. Mainly the fierce and stable relationship controlled on the court and grasp the rhythm of the game."
