Karan Dhavaskar vs Mohammad Nadaf
Qualifying Round 1 · Match #10 · Court 2 · Fri, Aug 7, 5:50 PM
Summary
Karan Dhavaskar survives a 14–5 swing before closing out Mohammad Nadaf
Karan Dhavaskar led 14–5, then watched Mohammad Nadaf take the next nine rallies to turn the opening game into a 14–14 fight. That was the match’s hinge on Court 2, but Dhavaskar recovered the next two points, edged ahead again at 16–15 after another tie, and finished the game 18–16.
The 19-minute qualifying match then changed shape completely. Nadaf took the first rally of game two, but Dhavaskar answered with 12 of the next 13 points for a 12–2 advantage. Nadaf added two more points, yet Dhavaskar closed 15–3 to advance 2–0.
The rally data makes the contrast sharper: Dhavaskar won 24 of 33 points on his serve and, despite winning only nine of 19 receiving points, controlled the match’s opening stretches, taking seven of the first 10 game-start rallies. Nadaf’s best work came late in game one, where his nine-point run erased a deficit without ever producing a lasting lead; his maximum lead surrendered was recorded as one, while Dhavaskar’s was zero.
Dhavaskar moves on to match 21. Nadaf’s fightback made the first game close, but the second gave him no route back.
