French Open 2021 LIVE, Day 3: PV Sindhu, Satwik-Chirag and others eye quarters - Scores, Updates, Results, Live Blog

Advantage, Shesar!

That started very closely but the Indonesian edges ahead before the mid-game break. A two-point lead for Shesar at 11-9. 

Verma is still within the touching distance and just needs to ensure that he does not let his opponent run away with this. 

Close start!

A very close start in the match between Sameer Verma and Sheshar. Both are level at 4-4.

Sameer Verma in action!

Sameer Verma will take to the court next for India. He will be up against the Indonesian Sheshar Hiren Rhustavito.

This should be a thrilling contest considering that Verma is World Number 21, while Sheshar is number 20!

Satwik-Ashwini LOSE

That is such a heartbreak for Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Ashwini Ponnappa. They had it in their grasp but crumble under pressure. The ability to win matches from such positions is what make the best in the world and Praveen-Ostavianti showed why there are World Number 5.

The Indians lost 21-15, 17-21, 19-21.

MATCH POINT, INDONESIA!

The Indonesians have one-match point at 20-19. Can the Indians stall?

The Indonesians fighting hard

Jordan and Oktavianti are fighting hard here. It has not been easy for Ashwini and Satwik, but they have somehow managed to maintain their lead. 16-14 in India's favour for now.

4 straight points!

Brilliant from Satwik-Ashwini as they win 4 points in a row and lead 11-9 before the change of sides. This is a huge advantage!

Good fightback!

Good fightback from the Indians as they reduce the deficit to one point at 8-9. WHo will have the advantage at the break?

Ashwini-Satwik trail

The Indians seem to be crumbling under pressure here. They trail 3-6 in the decider. 

Ashwini-Satwik surrender the second game

Brilliant comeback from Jordan and Oktavianti as they force the match into a decider. The Indians surrendered the second game 17-21 after having such a huge advantage at the start.
