Summary

Avinash Bhat Turns Two Late Deficits Into a 2–0 Qualifying Win

At 13–9 down in the opening game, Avinash Bhat began the run that changed the match. Shaurya Naik had built the lead after a 7–7 start and reached 16–15, but Bhat took the final three rallies to win 18–16 on Court 2.

The second game followed a similar pattern, though Naik again started faster. He opened 3–0 and led 9–6, then Bhat levelled at 12–12 before claiming the next three rallies for a 15–12 finish. The 27-minute qualifying match, started at 4:58 pm, ended with Bhat advancing 2–0.

The less obvious difference came late: Bhat won 15 of the 21 clutch rallies, compared with Naik’s six. His longest streak was also twice as long, six rallies to three, and he recovered from a maximum three-point deficit without surrendering a lead. Naik’s numbers show how close the contest was overall—he won 28 points to Bhat’s 33—but the decisive moments belonged to Bhat.

Naik’s strongest phase came around the first-game interval, when he led 8–7 and extended that advantage to 12–9. Bhat’s response, first in the opening game and then from 12–12 in the second, carried him through. Avinash Bhat now moves on from Qualifying Round 1, while Shaurya Naik exits after twice being within reach of the game.
