Tokyo Olympics: Table Tennis LIVE Day 2, July 25 — Sathiyan and Manika to start the day — Updates, score, results, blog

Playing without her coach again, will Manika be able to win set 2?

5 minutes in and Manika loses the first set

SET 1: 11-4 MARGARYTA

Many unforced errors by Manika as Margaryta leads 7-3

Margaryta to serve!

The match begins!

The players have started practicing prior to the match!

Will she be able to continue her historic run?

The wait is killing us!

Next up - Manika Batra in Round 2 action!

Don't go anywhere though as Manika Batra will be hoping to continue her dream run at the Tokyo Olympics as she plays her Round 2 match. 

The World No. 62 Batra is slated to go up against World No. 32 player Margaryta Pesotska from Ukraine.

With Sathiyan Gnanasekaran crashing out in the Round 2 encounter and failing to win his debut match at the Olympics, we have to look towards veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal now to bring home a medal from the Men's Singles in table tennis.

#LamSiuHang causes a massive upset as he beats India's #SathiyanGnanasekaran 11-7, 7-11, 4-11, 5-11, 11-9, 12-10, 11-6.
