Early lead for Yufei!
As expected Yufei races to an early 4-0 lead in this contest.
Yufei challenges!
Chen Yufei challenges for the very first point, and she wins it. The Olympic Champion leads 1-0.
Can the underdog strike?
There certainly is not a lot of expectations from Aditi Bhatt. But, it would be amazing if she can push Yufei to three games!
What an opportunity for Aditi Bhatt!
Just 18-year-old, Aditi Bhatt is unranked in the senior circuit. This is her international debut and she is up against the OLYMPIC CHAMPION!
A dream debut? I do not know how to put this.
Women's Singles up next!
Aditi Bhatt will take to the court next for India in women's singles. She replaces Malvika Bansod, who impressed in parts against World Number 10 Chochuwong yesterday.
Bhatt will have an uphill task against Chen Yufei - the OLYMPIC CHAMPION!
Liu-Zhou wins 22-20, 21-17
China converts their first match point and race to a 1-0 lead in the tie. It is going to be an uphill task for the Indians from here in this tie.
The scoreline of 22-20, 21-17 might not really do justice to the fight Dhruv Kapila and Arjun MR put up. Onwards and upwards, boys!
3 MATCH POINTS FOR CHINA
Liu-Zhou pocket consecutive points, and they have 3 match points!
18-16
China leads 18-16, but this is far from over. The way Dhruv-Arjun have played, you can not really rule out a comeback even from here.
Is this the comeback?
4 consecutive points for India and they have equalised. Is this the comeback we were all waiting for?
