"I saw the condition of the opponent's feet seemed uncomfortable if run around. So I deliberately made him run to the corner of the field, maybe this is what makes him uncomfortable playing. I also do not want to rush to attack, because if it continues to smash, defense that's good, so I tried to cross-left, right, front and back, "explained Jonatan, who is now ranked ninth in the world.
 
"In this tournament, I tried to return to my appearance in Malaysia and the Singapore Open yesterday. Especially now that I have started collecting points at the Olympics. I try to enjoy, relax, don't think I have to win, have so many points. I focus party by party "I don't think about the later round, just that day," answered Jonatan when asked about his stable appearance from the early round.
