Summary
Saraf and Phadte Finish Strong to Beat Balakrishnan and Parsekar 15-11, 15-11
Aryaman Saraf and Rudra Phadte turned a level opening into a straight-games quarterfinal win, defeating fifth seeds Advait Balakrishnan and Ashmeet Parsekar 15-11, 15-11 in 26 minutes on Court 2.
The first game was decided by a five-rally burst. At 4-4, Saraf and Phadte won five of the next six rallies to move 9-4 ahead, then maintained enough separation to take the game 15-11. Balakrishnan and Parsekar did respond, winning four consecutive rallies from 13-7 to cut the gap to 13-11, but the top seeds closed out the game with the final two points.
The second game followed a similar pattern, though the decisive run came earlier. After dropping the opening rally, Saraf and Phadte won five straight to lead 5-1 and reached the interval 8-2. Balakrishnan and Parsekar then produced their best stretch, taking four consecutive rallies after the interval to reduce the deficit to 8-6. That recovery ultimately stalled: Saraf and Phadte answered with two points, later built a 14-9 lead, and finished 15-11.
One less obvious feature of the match was the contrast after the interval. Balakrishnan and Parsekar won five of nine rallies after the second-game break, compared with just one of nine beforehand, yet the six-point deficit at the interval proved too large. Saraf and Phadte also held the edge in total points, 30-22, and their longest streak was five rallies to four.
The result sends Saraf and Phadte into match 13 of the main draw, while Balakrishnan and Parsekar exit in the quarterfinal.
