Summary
Devansh Sakpal Turns a Lost Opening Game into a 2–1 Comeback
Shaheen C K had the opening game in hand at 16–14, but Devansh Sakpal reversed the match in the two games that followed, winning 15–10, 15–10 on Court 5 in 35 minutes.
Sakpal started quickly, taking the first two rallies, but Shaheen answered a 3–6 deficit with a six-rally run to lead 8–6. The first game then tightened: Sakpal recovered from 9–6 down, moved level at 11–11 and led 13–11 before Shaheen drew level again at 14–14. Shaheen took the final two rallies to claim the opener.
The second game changed direction immediately. Shaheen led 2–0, yet Sakpal won the next three rallies and built an 8–4 advantage. His key separation came just after the interval, when he extended 8–6 to 13–6 with five of the next six rallies. Shaheen cut the gap to 10–13, but Sakpal closed the game with the final two points.
The decider was even at 2–2, then Sakpal created the first clear gap with a five-rally burst from 5–5 to 10–5. Shaheen produced his own response, winning five straight to make it 10–10. Sakpal, however, held firm at the decisive moment, taking the next five rallies to finish the match 15–10.
The less obvious edge was late-rally execution: Sakpal won 12 of 20 clutch rallies, compared with Shaheen’s eight. That margin mattered most after Shaheen’s comeback in the decider, when Sakpal did not surrender another point. The fourth-seeded Sakpal advances, while Shaheen’s first-game lead ends his run here.
