Press photographers waiting for the decisive moment. I feel like I'm exhausted ...

Involuntarily standing upside down. This is the only match, so I'm satisfied with this joy.

Two people who praise each other for their good fight.

It's a pity that I use too much power in this game and lose easily next time, so I'd like you to take a good rest and recover your physical strength.

postscript:
Mayu started the men's doubles first round match three hours later . Mayu was in a fluttering state, and partner Clement was furious at the organizer who decided to start even though the sunset was near and the game was apparently interrupted. In the end, Mayu and Clement's pair lost in a two-day match in the doubles. In addition, Isner also lost straight, probably because he was tired in the second round of singles, and the match time was only 1 hour and 14 minutes .
