Li Huifen, coach of the women's table tennis team of Hong Kong, China, said she's pleased with the silver medal won by her players in the women's doubles event Wednesday in the Asian Games.

"I'm quite satisfied with the silver as well as the performances from my players," commented Li after Tie Yana and Zhang Rui lost the final 4-1 against Chinese duo Guo Yue and Li Xiaoxia in the final after knocking out Wang Nan and Chen Qing earlier the day in the semis.

"The Chinese played better spins and more powerful attacks thanus, and we just tried to score on their errors," said Li.

"It's been even better that Tie and Zhang overcame the other Chinese Wang and Chen to make the final," she added.

For the first set that the Hong Kong won, Li thought the Chinese might have just failed to get into the match soon.
