Summary
Rifa Shaikh’s Mixed-Doubles Run Reaches a Decider Against the No. 4 Pair
Rifa Shaikh’s tournament began with a 12-minute mixed-doubles win, then ended the next evening after a 34-minute battle against the No. 4 pair. Across two events at the BPS State Badminton Ranking Tournament, she finished 1-2, spending 69 minutes on court and collecting 93 points for and against exactly: 93-93.
In mixed doubles with an unnamed partner, Shaikh and her side beat Mahesh Kandkura and Nidhi Nair 15-9, 15-8 in round one on 7 August. She then played women’s singles against Dimple Revankar, taking the opening game 15-7 before losing the next two 5-15, 8-15. The singles match began six minutes before its scheduled time and followed the doubles win by 54 minutes, the only recorded rest gap between her matches.
The mixed-doubles campaign continued on 8 August against fourth-seeded Sanath Kamat and Anar Singbal. Shaikh’s pair won the first game 15-6, dropped the second 8-15, and lost the decider 14-16. That was her closest match and her largest scalp opportunity, but the dossier records no completed upset. Her mixed-doubles record was 1-1, while singles ended 0-1.
One pattern cuts across the three matches: Shaikh won 15 of 40 points at game starts, but her final-game return rose to 37 wins from 76 points, compared with 36 of 67 in opening games. She was not simply strongest at the beginning; the data show her rally results held up more closely late in matches, even as both deciders went against her. Her campaign closed in mixed doubles, one game and two points short of extending it further.
