Qualifying Round 1 · Match #15 · Court 5 · Fri, Aug 7, 6:08 PM
Summary
Vihaan Naik Turns a Level Match into a Decider Rout
Aniket Redkar led 8–7 at the first interval and still took the opening game 15–10, but Vihaan Naik changed the match’s direction in the second. Naik erased an early 6–3 deficit, moved ahead 7–6, and after the score reached 11–11, won four of the next five rallies to force a decider at 15–13.
The third game was far less balanced. Naik opened 3–0, reached the interval 8–3 ahead, and extended the margin to 11–3 soon after. Redkar recovered three points to make it 11–6, but Naik answered with four of the next five rallies and closed out 15–6. The qualifying-round match on Court 5 lasted 34 minutes, finishing at 6:41 pm after starting at 6:08 pm.
The rally detail shows a sharp contrast in where the match was won. Naik took 11 of 15 game-start rallies, while Redkar won only four; that early control was especially important in the deciding game, where Naik led 3–0 before Redkar could settle. Yet Redkar’s first-game recovery was substantial: he turned Naik’s opening 5–0 run into a 6–6 tie and later won the game’s final five rallies. Naik advances to match 24, while Redkar’s challenge ends after one game won and two lost.
