Summary
Aswin Mannambalath and Shaheen C K Turn Semifinal Around in a 15-11 Decider
Aswin Mannambalath and Shaheen C K were one game from the final when Arjun Rehani and Ayaan Shaikh pulled level at 14-14. Two rallies later, the third-seeded pair had forced a decider, winning the second game 16-14 after trailing 10-5 and 13-9.
That recovery was the match’s sharpest turn. Rehani and Shaikh won six of the final seven rallies in game two, but Aswin and Shaheen had already built enough pressure to lead 8-5 at the interval. The second-seeded pair’s five-rally best streak in the match was also the longest run recorded by either side.
The deciding game began with Aswin and Shaheen taking the first three rallies. Rehani and Shaikh closed from 5-8 to 8-10, but the second seeds restored a 14-9 advantage before finishing 15-11. The final game was not simply decided by the opening burst: Aswin and Shaheen won 11 of the 15 rallies after the interval, compared with seven before it.
The numbers also show why the match lasted three games. Rehani and Shaikh won 27 of 44 receiving rallies, while Aswin and Shaheen won 27 of 37 on receive; that sharper return split helped the second seeds survive the momentum swing. In a 33-minute semifinal on Court 2, Aswin Mannambalath and Shaheen C K won 15-10, 14-16, 15-11 and advanced.
