Yousuf Shaikh’s Doubles Run Ends After a Seeded Upset and Two Deciders

Yousuf Shaikh’s tournament began with a 15-minute qualifying win and ended 25 hours later in a deciding-game defeat, with a seeded pair beaten in between. In men’s doubles, Shaikh and his partner opened against Pallab Samanta and Paranjay Thakur, winning 15-4, 15-8 on the evening of 7 Aug 2026. The pair took 30 points to 12 and never dropped a game.

After a 201-minute gap, Shaikh’s next match came against fourth seeds Kamlesh Kanji and Parag Chauhan at 4:02 pm on 8 Aug 2026. The pair won the first game 15-7, lost the second 15-9, then took the decider 16-14. It was Shaikh’s biggest scalp of the tournament, and the match lasted 33 minutes.

The campaign ended in the second round against Sushil Nayak and Yash Kunkalienkar. Shaikh’s pair recovered from a 15-12 opening-game loss to level with a 15-7 second-game win, but the opponents edged the decider 16-14. The 31-minute match finished at 8:27 pm.

Across three completed matches, Shaikh’s side spent 79 minutes on court, won 2-1, and scored 109 points to 88. The pattern in the rally data is telling: the pair won 54 of 87 receiving rallies, compared with 55 of 110 on serve. They also won 45 of 83 rallies in final games, better than their 34 of 68 in opening games. The run ended narrowly, but it was built around a qualifying win, a fourth-seed upset and two deciding games decided by two points.
