Summary
Devansh Sakpal and Yousuf Shaikh Recover from 6-2 Down to Edge Seeded Pair
At 6-2 down in the deciding game, Devansh Sakpal and Yousuf Shaikh were facing a four-point gap and a seeded pair across the net. They turned it into a 16-14 victory, defeating fourth seeds Kamlesh Kanji and Parag Chauhan 7-15, 15-9, 16-14 in 33 minutes on Court 1.
Kanji and Chauhan controlled the opener after trailing 2-0, taking 13 of the next 18 rallies to win 15-7. Sakpal and Shaikh answered in the second game, moving from 2-2 to 6-2 and later stretching a 12-9 lead into 15-9 to force the decider.
The final game supplied the match's clearest swing. Kanji and Chauhan led 6-2 and were still ahead 9-5 after the interval, but Sakpal and Shaikh won five of the next six rallies to draw level at 10-10. The seeded pair briefly recovered to 13-12, yet the unseeded team answered again: two straight rallies made it 14-13, and after 14-14 they claimed the last two points.
The numbers underline how narrow the contest was: both teams finished with 38 points across the match. Sakpal and Shaikh's edge came late, where they won nine of 17 clutch rallies to Kanji and Chauhan's eight. They also overcame a maximum four-point deficit, twice the deficit their opponents recovered from, and will advance to match 10.
