“Everyone was chanting my name, it felt so awesome. Although not playing in Thailand, I feel like home. Today I performed well not only for Thailand, but also for all my supporters in Indonesia," Ratchanok said after the match.
Not only feeling at home but also Rathcanok is satisfied with her victory because she could make a payback for her previous defeat from Hashimoto at the Australia Open Super Series Premier 2015 last week where Ratchanok was forced to surrender by Hashimoto, 15-21, 18-21. This victory alters her leading record against Yui become 3-1.
“I am extremely happy becoming the champion, I was once asked about the final match and I said I would win. I proved I could won. In Australia, I was not really fit, I was lacking strength. Today I was 100 percent up and running," the 2015 Badminton Asia Championship winner claimed.
“Yui wasn't playing her maximum level, she seemed exhausted due to previous performance. All in all, Yui is a good player because she could stun Wang Yihan (China), while I haven't had the honor to do so," Rathcanok stated.
