Summary
Phadte and Thite Hold Off Dhavaskar and Sahakari in Two Tight Games
Rudra Phadte and Shivanjali Thite needed only two games, but neither was straightforward. The sixth-seeded pair beat Karan Dhavaskar and Neha Sahakari 15-11, 18-16 in 25 minutes on Court 1, advancing from the Round of 16.
The opening game began with Phadte and Thite taking the first five rallies. Dhavaskar and Sahakari answered with three straight points, then erased the gap completely at 7-7. The seeded pair restored a narrow lead at the interval and moved 9-7 ahead, but the score was still 12-11 before three consecutive closing points settled the game.
The second game was even more finely balanced. Phadte and Thite led 5-3, then trailed 5-6 and reached the interval one point behind at 7-8. They recovered to 9-7, only for Dhavaskar and Sahakari to level at 9-9 and later turn 12-10 down into a 13-12 lead. At 16-16, Phadte and Thite finally found the decisive run, taking the last two rallies.
The less obvious edge came early: Phadte and Thite won seven of the 10 game-opening rallies, while their opponents won only three. Dhavaskar and Sahakari were stronger after the interval, winning five of nine rallies compared with four for the winners, but that improvement could not erase the points conceded at the start. The match ended with Phadte and Thite still unbeaten across both games, while Dhavaskar and Sahakari pushed each game deep into its closing stages.
