TRANSLATION: I think we have to keep improving. Today I felt a bit slower compared to last week in Malaysia and the conditions were also different. It was a complicated first round against Okuhara, but we have been able to overcome it. I'm already looking forwards to Thursday, when I will surely play against Ratchanok. Tomorrow (is) a preparation day and we'll give it all on Thursday.
