“I told them that if they don’t finish the game in the fourth set, I will make them practice tomorrow. They know that if they don’t respond, I will make them pay in practice so I’m glad they were able to adjust right away,” said Cruzada in Filipino.
“They were not making an effort to understand each other inside the court. But at least during the fourth set, they started communicating again.
