Speaking with our correspondent shortly after the victory, Opeyori described the triumph over their opponent as a result of resilience and doggedness put into the game.
He adds “In the Men’s Singles, It wasn’t what I expected to have lost most of the matches but I have outlived that and move forward. I have to learn from it and make an amendment where and when necessary”.
“It happens, that’s what it’s called a game, sometimes, you win and sometimes you lose. It goes up and down”.
“But in the Men’s Doubles, we have tried our possible best and our best have pushed us into semis and talking about our opponents, the guys did their best to show that they are also a good team to play with but have to let them know that we’re better than them.
