In first match, Nishanth and Kanchan were up against Rajesh and Malini. Nishanth and Kanchan only have one victory from their previous two encounters. They need to win this one for brightening their chances to make to semis. They were quick to convert the available opportunities and take lead quickly. However Rajesh showed some really good fight, backing up Malini very well, making some really amazing shots which were applauded not only by spectators but also by their opponents. However this was shortlived as Nishanth & Kanchan quickly wrapped them up, winning by 6 – 2. Full credit to the teams and the organizers for holding their patience as rain interrupted the match twice, but still they went on with the game to ensure that the matches are completed well within the planned timeframe.
With two victories in their kitty Raj and Sampath have virtually made it to the semis. However a big defeat at hands of their opponents Rebecca and Akhil can see them out of competition and making way for Rebecca and Akhil who have won one match in their league matches till now. But Raj and Sampath had other plans. Some really fast serves from Raj and good winners from Sampath saw them taking a very early lead. Adding to this, they received some support from their opponents who provided them few chances as well as made some unforced errors. This helped Raj and Sampath to win this encounter 6 – 1 and sealing the berth in semis by topping the table in their group. This also ensure that Kanchan / Nishanth also sealed their semifinal berth being second in their group.Final Scores :
Raj / Sampath bt Rebecca / Akhil : 6 – 1
Kanchan / Nishanth by Rajesh / Malini : 6 – 2
