Summary
Balakrishnan and Parsekar Close Out Kanji and Ferrao in Two Tight Games
Advait Balakrishnan and Ashmeet Parsekar needed only 21 minutes to move through the Round of 16, but their 15–13, 15–9 win over Kapil Kanji and Sebastian Ferrao was shaped by two very different games.
The fifth-seeded pair opened 3–0, then watched Kanji and Ferrao level at 4–4. Balakrishnan and Parsekar rebuilt a 12–8 advantage, only for the unseeded pair to reel off four straight rallies and make it 12–12. The response was immediate: two rallies restored a 14–12 lead, and the game was secured at 15–13.
The second game began with Kanji and Ferrao ahead 3–2, but Balakrishnan and Parsekar turned that into 8–4 and stretched the gap to 12–6. A three-rally reply brought the margin back to three, at 12–9, before the seeded pair finished with the last three points.
The less obvious split came after the mid-game intervals. Kanji and Ferrao won just one of nine rallies before those intervals but five of nine afterward, making their strongest stretch a late one rather than an opening surge. Balakrishnan and Parsekar still controlled the match overall, winning 30 points to 22 and never surrendering a recorded lead. Kanji and Ferrao leave the draw after a competitive first game and a second-game finish that belonged to their opponents.
