1. El Rumi Masters the Field

Although he won the men's singles badminton final, Valentino Jebret admitted that El Rumi is not an easily underestimated young man. He initially thought it would be easy to defeat him, but his opponent dominates the field like the Great Wall of China.

"I admit that El has some magical power. I thought it would be easy to beat him, but when we played, it was like he covered the entire court like the Great Wall of China," Valentino said in a different interview session.

2. Bringing Three Coaches

During the match, Valentino Jebret was seen accompanied by three coaches who are his own friends. He intentionally brought them along to provide support and guidance.

"Each of my coaches has their own skills. All three of them support me, they are my friends in the competition and are more skilled in their respective fields," Valentino stated.
