Demark Open LIVE - Day 3 - Sameer Verma beats Anders Antonsen - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

The match has started!

Axelsen wins the first point of the match but Lakshya Sen leads 2-1.

Lakshya Sen on court!

Yes, finally, we have a move on in court 1 which has seen a lot of close encounters today. Lakshya Sen is out there now and he will be up against the World Number 2 Vicktor Axelsen.

They have encountered once previously with Axelsen winning that match in straight games at the 2020 England Open just before the pandemic stopped all sporting activities last year.

Arjun-Dhruv KNOCKED OUT

Arjun MR and Dhruv Kapila put up a valiant effort against the World Number 7. Their best is however not enough as they fall short 12-21, 21-17, 15-21 and exit the Denmark Open 2021.

Matter of time

Muhammad-Fajar lead 18-11. This is just a matter of time now.

This is over for Arjun-Dhruv

The Indonesians lead 16-9. I do not see a comeback from here for Arjun MR and Dhruv Kapila.

6-point lead

A massive 6 point lead for Indonesia in the decider. They lead 11-5 at the change of sides.

Will the shift of sides shift India's fortunes?

8-4

Muhammad-Fajar continue to dominate the decider. Arjun-Dhruv seem to have no answers at the moment. 

Indonesia leads

The Indonesians lead 4-2 in the decider. Will Arjun-Dhruv hit back?

Can India win this?

It is going to be tough. This is Kapila's second match of the day, and this is his second decider. He was in a similar situation earlier today with Sikki Reddy in mixed doubles, where they made a comeback in the second game but eventually fizzled out in the decider.

Will this be something different?

21-17

Dhruv Kapila and Arjun MR have forced the World Number 7 into a decider. This is fantastic from the Indians. The Indonesians save one game point, but that's all they could come up with.
