"No, it was a great match. Dusty played really well. There was a point where I felt that I had my back against the wall. But I had my team, I had my friends, I had my family who were supporting me. They kept believing in me and that just gave me so much belief in myself. And we got through it," said Armaan. "I was just telling myself to stay in it, to stay point by point. I could hear Sam telling me that it's every point by itself, go through every point. At the end of the day, we got through it," Armaan added. Armaan revealed that the second set was the turning point of the game and he gained confidence after some points went his way. "In the second set, when we got in a few points of my liking, is when we realised that yes, we could get on it," Armaan further added.Armana is on the cusp of winning a historic triple crown and will play the Men's and mixed double finals later in the evening. He could become only the sixth player to win three titles at a single event."Oh, I mean, you just told me that now, I didn't know about it before this. So, are you looking forward to the Triple Crown, because everyone here is. I'm hoping to get one, but it's each match by itself," Armaan stated. Armaan also expressed his love for the crowd, who have come to support him and other picklers in India's biggest pickleball event. "No, I mean, I love this crowd. I love everyone who's been over here and stayed out to support me. And thank you so much for being there. And hope to see you again," Armaan said.
