"Even though we were behind on points, we both remained patient and tried to get points. It turned out our opponents also made mistakes. We then stuck to the same playing style," said Atresia in Kudus on Sunday.
He said it was not easy to win this final because both pairs already knew each other's strengths and weaknesses.
He admitted that his junior's strategy was good enough to make him and Aurelia overwhelmed.
