I wanted to attack because my defense wasn&#39;t great today. But unfortunately, I couldn&#39;t cut down on my errors and her net play was very good,&quot; said Tai.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Her opponent Tai, who missed her third WTF title, admitted to struggling to keep up with the ferocious speed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/FwYLR1xf7FQ\">Roston Chase Picks Up His All-Time XI, Includes 3 Indians<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong><em>This story has not been edited by Cricketnmore staff and is auto-generated from a syndicated feed<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\r\n",
