Demark Open LIVE: Day 2 - Saina Nehwal in action - Updates, Results, Scores, Blog

11-6

Satwik-Ashwini started off well, but the Chinese pair go into the break with a healthy 11-6 advantage. The Indians need to buckle up here.

China leads

3 consecutive points for Feng and Du and they have taken a 7-6 lead.

5-2

A wonderful rally which Satwik pockets in India's favour. Keeps defending for a long time, gets one opportunity and lands a body smash to perfection does Satwik.

Early lead for India

Ashwini-Satwik take an early 3-1 lead in the contest. Good start this.

Satwik and Ashwini are out on court

Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa are out on court number 2 of the Odense Sports Park. They will take on Feng Yan Zhe and Du Yue of China.

While Satwik won his men's doubles match yesterday, Ashwini was knocked out of the women's doubles section earlier today, making this her final shot at glory in Denmark Open 2021. 

We will begin in the next few minutes.

The Match will begin around 5:15 PM IST

The Mixed Doubles encounter of Satwik and Ashwini will begin around 5:00 PM IST. We still have 2 more matches on Court number 2 before their match!

Not a great start

Not a start the Indian fans would have hoped after the country's performance yesterday. 2 matches and 2 women's doubles pair exit the Denmark Open 2021 for India today.

But, there is 5 more matches left on the day for India - the first of which will be played by Ashwini Ponnappa again parenting Satwiksairaj Rankireddy in Mixed Doubles. It will commence tentatively around 4:00 pm IST. Then there is Saina Nehwal in action as well. Stay Tuned. 

Ashwini Ponnappa - Sikki Reddy KNOCKED OUT

Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy have been knocked out from women's doubles at Denmark Open 2021. They lose 17-21, 13-21 in 38 minutes.

Never did the veterans look in any sort of control during the match, and this will only raise more and more questions about India's poor show in the doubles section. 

8-point lead

8 point lead for Lee and Shin at 18-11. They are just 2 points away from advancing to the next round. Do not see a comeback from here for Ashwini and Sikki.

Falling apart

Ashwini and Sikki are falling apart here. They need to refocus and get it together. They trail 9-15.
