Speaking to the media he said:

"The team aspect, it's really cool to watch it out there. It's nice to have that in the background and just hope we can take the win again."

Mito Pereira is having trouble with allergy problems which had affected his performance in part.

Speaking on the same, he was confident that he would not have any performance issue in the tournament:

"It was really, really bad. I just tried to keep myself together and tried to play good and just take the allergy how it is."
