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

11-8

Ashwini Ponnappa and Sikki Reddy trail 8-11 at the midgame break. Pressure mounting on the veteran Indian pair, the question is can they deliver?

Close Start!

A very close start to Game 2 between Ashwini-Sikki and Lee-Shin. The Indians trail 5-6.

Ashwini-Sikki lose GAME 1

Lee and Shin take the first game 21-17. After they took a 4-0 lead to start off the match, Ashwini and Sikki were always playing catchup. 

The Indians did try to cling on levelling scores at multiple times, but the South Koreans were just way better.

Meghana-Poorvisha KNOCKED OUT

Meghana and Poorvisha have been knocked out of the Denmark Open 2021. They lose 8-21, 7-21 to a much superior pair of Nita and Putri from Indonesia.

Not an unexpected result, but one expects them to at least put up a fight.

Meghana-Poorvisha have virtually lost

Meghana and Poorvisha trail 4-14 in the second game. There, surely, is no comeback from here. 

Ashwini-Sikki trying to hang on

The South Koreans have opened up a 2-point lead, but Ashwini and Sikki are trying to cling on to this one. The Indians trail 16-13.

Ashwini-Sikki equalise

Ashwini and Sikki have equalised at court 1. They win 3 in a row to level up at 11-11.

Struggle continues for Meghana-Poorvisha

The struggle continues for Meghana and Poorvisha. They trail 1-7 in the second game. This will be over quickly, I feel.

Ashwini-Sikki trail

The South Korean pair of Lee and Shin goes into the mid-game break with an 11-8 lead. Ashwini and Sikki have not done a lot wrong so far, but neither have they a lot right.

Interesting times ahead in this contest.

Meghana-Poorvisha lose first game

Meghana and Poorvisha have lost the first game 21-8 on court number 2. They did save two game points but it did not matter.

The Indonesians looking too good for the Indians currently. Can Meghana-Poorvisha hit back in game 2? I do not think so.
