■Comments from Ena Shibahara: “It was a tough match, and at first the opponent didn't make any mistakes, and they continued to play well.(The opponent) was playing in a style that I wasn't comfortable with, so I made adjustments as I entered the second set with the mindset that I needed to hit the ball a little more firmly, and I was able to get points. Overall, I'm glad I believed in myself. The wind was strong, so I didn't feel like I had that much power on my serves, but I was able to make it difficult for my opponent by mixing my placement with spin and slices. I think I was able to win one match at a time because I was able to talk with my partner the whole time.”
