00:003, 2, 1, start!

00:14Yes, this is still not enough.

00:21There are too many young athletes.

00:26I can't pressure them.

00:30What are the advantages of competing with them?

00:33What are the advantages of them that make it difficult for you guys to compete with them?

00:38They are more calm.

00:41Most of the time, in the first set, we give them points.

00:47There are too many young athletes with points.

00:51It's very rare to see you making a lot of unforced errors.

00:59Is it because of your physical condition?

01:04I think it's just not enough patience today.

01:07We just try to kill the shot, maybe a few shots, then just keep coming the unforced errors.

01:14I think this has to be learned.

01:17In the second game, we did better.

01:20But in the crucial time, we still made some simple mistakes.

01:24I think we need to revise that.

01:28Next week, the Indian Open is coming up.

01:32What is the plan for you?

01:35Are you going there early?

01:38How is the preparation?

01:40I think for now, we still have to keep our focus.

01:47Aaron, do you have any issues that make it difficult to be 100%?

01:55No.

01:57Sure.

01:58Coach Min Chen is your last man.

02:01Do you have any advice for him?

02:11This is my last game with Coach Min Chen.

02:16We appreciate what he has done for us.

02:20We did a lot of good results with him.

02:23We hope he has a better career soon.

02:27We will restart our career and try to come back stronger.

02:34You said you could have given Coach Min Chen a bigger send-off.

02:41Do you feel sad?

02:47Yes, I do feel sad.

02:51But we have achieved a lot.

03:00For example, in the Paralympic Games in Paris.

03:05I mean, how do you say in English?

03:10So this was not unexpected.

03:14Thank you guys.
