Summary
Anjana Kumari and Sufiya Shaikh Open With 10 Straight and Sweep Quarterfinal
Anjana Kumari and Sufiya Shaikh needed just 19 minutes to move through their quarterfinal, beating Nidhi Nair and Preeti Papshetty 15-7, 15-3 on Court 6.
The second-seeded pair set the tone immediately, taking the opening four rallies before Nair and Papshetty answered with two points. Anjana and Sufiya restored control at 2-4, reaching the interval 8-2 and then extending the lead to 11-3. Nair and Papshetty briefly found their best passage, winning four straight rallies to cut the margin to 11-7, but the response was decisive: Anjana and Sufiya won the next four rallies to close the game.
The match’s clearest turning point came at the start of the second game. Anjana and Sufiya won the first 10 rallies, leading 10-0 before Nair and Papshetty finally got on the board. That run made the second game far more one-sided than the first; the underdogs managed only three points, and the seeded pair finished 15-3.
The rally detail underlines how consistently Anjana and Sufiya controlled the exchange. They won nine of the 10 game-start points and claimed 24 of 30 points on their serve, while Nair and Papshetty won only four of 10 on theirs. Nair and Papshetty did improve after the intervals, taking two of nine points compared with none before them, but the deficit was already too large.
Anjana Kumari and Sufiya Shaikh advance from the quarterfinal, while Nidhi Nair and Preeti Papshetty leave with a match in which their four-rally surge was the only sustained change in momentum.
