"Azerbaijan's mixed doubles table tennis team was well prepared tactically against Russia."
İdman.biz reports that this was said by Russian national team member Evgeny Vasikov in a statement to journalists after the semi-final match.
He said that the meeting was difficult: "The match was very difficult because we lost 2:7 in the third set. The pair from Azerbaijan were very well prepared for the match. Apparently, they watched how my teammate and I play in mixed doubles. They were very well prepared tactically and mentally, but we were able to turn this match around."
He believes they will show good tennis in the final: "We will play with our teammates in the final. There are two Russian pairs. We hope we will show beautiful tennis."
It should be noted that Russia, which defeated the Azerbaijani national team in the match between mixed doubles teams, advanced to the final. The table tennis competitions will end tomorrow.
