Greysia/Apriyani failed to put misery on Yuki/Sayaka even though they managed to win against Yuki/Sayaka on the last two matches between these two in 2017.

“We played the game according to the planned approach, in which we have practiced them before the game. Maybe during the last few points of the second game we lost our focus of the game,” said Apriyani.

“It’s true we acknowledge that the Japanese Pair are on the rise and that makes them feel more confident. Their tranquility on the field is enough to put them out of today’s match pressure,” said Greysia.

Greysia/Apriyani claimed that they will have to evaluate themselves after today’s result “We try to evaluate everything that we think was not enough from our matches throughout Indonesia Open,” Greysia added.
