Intanon said in an interview after the match that she really enjoyed the feeling of playing in Malaysia, which was like her second home because there were so many Malaysian and international fans in attendance to support her. Intanon admitted that there were too many mistakes in the first game, resulting in a lot of unforced mistakes, which made her lose many key points, she believes that Li Wenshan has a strong psychological quality, after the knee surgery, the feel and pace are still very good, she is 33 years old, but she can still maintain such a good physical condition. "But I have nothing to lose. If you lose today, try harder next time," Intanon said.
