Ayush Shetty concedes Game 1

Ayush Shetty saves three game points as Popov goes long thrice in a row. It's 11-20 for Ayush.

But hang on, Popov has asked for a challenge on that last point. It is out by a long.

But that's some smart work from Popov to get in a break.

It works out in his favour too as he lands the next shuttle perfectly on the backline to win the opening game 21-11 in 19 minutes!
