Summary
Shaheen C K and Dimple Revankar Turn Two Close Games Into a Quarterfinal Win
At 8-8 in the opening game, Rahul Deswal and Malaika Lobo had erased a four-point deficit and appeared level with the third-seeded Shaheen C K and Dimple Revankar. But the tie lasted only one rally. Shaheen and Dimple won the next two points, and after Deswal and Lobo pulled back to 12-12, the seeded pair closed the game with three straight rallies for a 15-12 lead.
The second game followed a different path. Deswal and Lobo opened 4-1 ahead, then led 8-5 at the interval. That advantage disappeared immediately afterward: Shaheen and Dimple won the next six rallies to move from 8-8 to 14-8, before taking the match 15-8. The 21-minute quarterfinal on Court 1 ended at 6:51 pm, with Shaheen and Dimple advancing to match 14.
The less obvious difference was at the finish. Across the 10 rallies classified as clutch, Shaheen and Dimple won seven, compared with three for Deswal and Lobo. Their longest run was also decisive: 10 consecutive rallies, while their opponents’ best streak was three. Shaheen and Dimple won 18 of 29 points on their serve and overcame a maximum three-point deficit; Deswal and Lobo never recovered from a larger gap.
Deswal and Lobo made both games competitive, especially after trailing 2-6 in the first and leading early in the second. Shaheen and Dimple simply owned the closing stretches, completing a straight-games victory at 15-12, 15-8.
