Liu Shiwen said after the game: "This game really played very well from Man Yu's point of view. In these four quarters, there may be two innings in between that I think have a little bit of a chance. But overall it is really inferior, and I think Manyu's whole play, including this control of the whole rhythm of the game from the technical tactics, is very good. She didn't give me many chances throughout the game. From this game, I also saw some of my shortcomings. I think this competition was very rewarding. "Look forward to the national table tennis continue to work hard, create more brilliant, come on!"
