Popov on a roll
Popov with a well-judged leave at the backhand corner before Ayush's net dribble once again fails to cross over.
The world No 4 then with a brilliant soft touch, catching Ayush aback. He is stuck on the backcourt as the shuttle falls at his front.
The Indian is down 1-4 as Popov continues to dominate!
