Talking Point: Tim Haller’s Strategy

Tim Haller from Germany shared his thoughts on his performance, stating, “I feel good, but I could have done better. My footwork was OK, and I was running well, but I could have made fewer mistakes. I have to win my next match against Olek Donstov of Russia, and he has to lose to Hugo Saumier of France, then I can make it to the next round.”
