Sanjay said he knew the match against Joachim was going to be tough, but relied on his own strength when he was trailing."But I know if it was already that tight at the start, I just needed to trust my physical abilities because I knew if I could make it tough for my opponents at the start, I would be able to last longer in the match.
"Added that this was only my second match of the tournament, I just stuck with my plan and it worked to my benefit as the match went on," he said. Making his first final appearance at the national tournament, Sanjay will have to get past Duncan Lee to clinch the title, and he is feeling confident he can get the job done.But I know every match is tough, and there’s always different pressures in every match," he said.
