Summary
Nayak and Kunkalienkar Turn Two 12-Point Games into a Straight-Game Win
Sushil Nayak and Yash Kunkalienkar advanced from Round of 16 with a 15-12, 15-12 win over seventh seeds Mohammad Nadaf and Sanath Kamat on Court 2, finishing a 25-minute match at 4:27 pm.
Nadaf and Kamat opened the first game with a 4-1 lead, but Nayak and Kunkalienkar steadily erased it. The score reached 8-8 after the interval, then the unseeded pair made the decisive move: from 9-9, they won three of the next four rallies to lead 12-10 and held on for 15-12.
The second game followed a different route but ended the same way. Nadaf and Kamat surged 3-0 ahead and still led 8-6 at the interval. Nayak and Kunkalienkar levelled at 9-9, then moved ahead 10-9. Nadaf and Kamat twice drew level, at 10-10 and 11-11, and again at 12-12, but the final three rallies belonged to Nayak and Kunkalienkar.
The less obvious pattern was how consistently the winners recovered without allowing a late lead to disappear: their analytics record a maximum deficit overcome of three points and no lead surrendered. They also won eight of 13 clutch rallies, compared with five for Nadaf and Kamat, while the seventh seeds won eight of the opening ten rallies across the two games but could not convert either early start.
Nayak and Kunkalienkar now advance to match number 10. Nadaf and Kamat’s campaign ends despite leading for meaningful stretches in both games; the scoreline was decided by the closing exchanges each time.
