“The first four sets were played at a high level. In the fifth set, both teams played at the highest level and we were lucky to win that. Brazil are a very great team but we managed to beat them because of everyone’s efforts, not just mine. We came back from two match points down to win. We made mental adjustments in that set,” says Zhu Ting.
“China played the first two sets very well. We started to block, defend and serve better from the third set. Our ability to counter-attack was key and it is important in this competition, especially against the reigning Olympic champions,” says Ze Roberto.
