Victory in the first game then became the key to Gregoria’s success in advancing to the quarter-finals.He was able to appear more impressive in the second game even though Akechi continued to provide fierce resistance.
Behind the success of catching up from 1-13, Gregoria emphasized that he did not think too much about the huge point difference.
“I’m thankful that I was able to win today’s match and that the game has also improved. At the start of the first game, I was behind 1-13 but I managed not to think too much about points, instead I was able to play quite safely and my opponent turned impatient.”
“After the interval there was a positive change in my game by keeping the ball out of my opponent’s reach,” said Gregoria as quoted in a PBSI release.
Qualifying for the quarter-finals, for Gregoria, this was an important achievement.This is because Gregoria has often lost in the early rounds since he returned after experiencing vertigo which kept him out for a long time.
“Returning to the top eight is something to be grateful for after many tournaments before this, always an early exit, this small step means a lot in the return phase from yesterday’s illness. It is also a motivation to always give the best,” said Gregoria.
