Summary
Meher Aghicha Takes Control Early, Holds Off Shanaya Sah’s Second-Game Surge
Meher Aghicha needed only two games to move through the U9 Girls' Singles quarterfinal, beating Shanaya Sah 15-4, 15-11 on Court 5 on 9 Aug 2026. The match lasted 14 minutes by the court record, from 10:30 am to 10:44 am.
The first game was decided by its opening stretch. Meher led 2-0, restored a 4-1 advantage after Shanaya’s first response, then pulled away to 8-3. After Shanaya made it 8-4, Meher won the next seven rallies to close the game 15-4. That late first-game run was the clearest turning point: Shanaya did not score again.
The second game began more evenly. Shanaya levelled at 1-1 and later recovered from 3-8 to trail only 9-12, winning five consecutive rallies to bring the margin to one point. Meher answered immediately, taking the next three rallies for 15-11 and the match.
The rally detail shows how much the opening phases mattered. Meher won seven of the first ten game-start rallies recorded, compared with Shanaya’s three, and won 21 of 30 rallies when serving. Shanaya’s strongest spell came after the interval, where she won four of nine rallies compared with one before it, but Meher’s 8-3 lead had already been built by then. Shanaya’s challenge was real in the second game, yet Meher’s closing response sent her into the next round.
