In the first round of the men's singles in wheelchair tennis at the Tokyo Paralympics, Daisuke Arai defeated an Israeli player with a 2-0 straight to advance to the second round.
Daisuke Arai, who won the first round of the men's singles in wheelchair tennis straight, said, "I thought I was nervous at the first Paralympic Games, but I was able to perform well. I was satisfied.
For the next game, "The whole play was good, but I made a mistake in the backhand and couldn't show my strength. I was too leaning forward, so if I stay calm a little next time, I can play better. I think, "he said.
Regarding the delay in the start of the game due to the heat, he smiled, "I was slow, so there was no problem. I slept and waited."
