The moment he won, Shi Yuqi excitedly threw away the racket, hugged the coach, then clenched his fists and waved it, and made a gesture representing "first". "I almost burst into tears." "Little Stone" said a little embarrassedly when he was interviewed in English. At that time, he was still out of breath, "Li Zijia is a very excellent player, all I have to do is be patient."
