After the game, domestic media reported: "In this game, the connection advantage of Kueman and Miu Hirano contributed to the victory.

Kuo Man, who made up the doubles, also praised, "Although the language is not fluent, [Hirano] also understands Chinese, and there are coaches and other people who help me, so communication is the first thing." Even if you can't communicate with words, especially during the competition, you can communicate not only with words, but also with eyes and expressions, so I think it's smooth. ”
