Summary
Saraf and Phadte Convert Fast Starts Into a Straight-Game Semifinal Win
Aryaman Saraf and Rudra Phadte needed only 17 minutes on Court 1 to reach the final of the men’s doubles draw, beating Sushil Nayak and Yash Kunkalienkar 15-10, 15-8 in the semifinal.
The top-seeded pair set the tone immediately, taking the opening three rallies. Nayak and Kunkalienkar answered with a 3-1 run to close to 5-4, but Saraf and Phadte rebuilt their advantage before the interval, moving from 5-4 to 8-4. After the break, they extended the gap to 11-5 and protected it despite a late three-rally response that brought the score to 13-9.
The second game began differently: Nayak and Kunkalienkar took the first rally and held level at 2-2. That was as close as they came. Saraf and Phadte then won four straight rallies to lead 6-2, reached 8-3 at the interval, and resumed with another two-point burst for 10-4. The losing pair again found a run, taking three in a row to cut the deficit to 10-7, but Saraf and Phadte closed by winning five of the final six rallies.
The less obvious separator was at the start of games: Saraf and Phadte won seven of the 10 game-opening rallies recorded in the analytics, while Nayak and Kunkalienkar won three. Their serve numbers also tell the story of control, with the winners taking 17 of 30 points on serve compared with five of 18 for their opponents. Nayak and Kunkalienkar made the semifinal competitive in patches, but the seeded pair never surrendered a lead and advanced without a decider.
