I'm really glad we won! And Miyaura also did a great job!
I haven't been able to watch the video yet, probably because of a glitch on the website, but I think it was a really worthwhile victory to come back from a 5-point deficit in the 5th set. I was following the live scores, but Miyanoura was really intense today.
The coach has changed since this match, so I hope they will become a great team again!
