Summary
Arjun Rehani and Ayaan Shaikh Turn a 3–8 Decider Deficit into Quarterfinal Victory
Arjun Rehani and Ayaan Shaikh needed one final push from 10–10, and they found it, beating Karan Dhavaskar and Soham Naik 11–15, 16–14, 15–13 in 33 minutes on Court 1.
The eighth-seeded Dhavaskar and Naik controlled the opener, moving from 2–0 ahead to 8–5 and closing it 15–11. The third seeds answered in the second game, building a 9–5 advantage. That lead disappeared: Dhavaskar and Naik won seven of the next nine rallies to level at 13–13, then saved the first game point at 13–14 before Rehani and Shaikh took the last two rallies.
The decider swung twice. Dhavaskar and Naik led 4–1, then 8–6 at the interval. Rehani and Shaikh made the decisive run immediately afterward, winning four straight rallies to move 10–8 in front. Their opponents recovered to 10–10, but the third seeds won two of the next three rallies and finished 15–13.
The less obvious pattern was how the match changed after the intervals. Rehani and Shaikh won 10 of 15 rallies after them, compared with eight of 15 before; Dhavaskar and Naik went the other way, winning five after intervals against seven before. That post-interval edge, plus Rehani and Shaikh’s maximum three-point comeback in the match, carried them through a contest in which both pairs finished with 42 points overall. The victory sends Arjun Rehani and Ayaan Shaikh on to match 14.
