Tanvi Khanna’s three-game loss against Sin Yuk Chan in just 22 minutes put India on the back foot. The games ended in scores of 6-11, 7-11, and 3-11. The second match, against Tze Lok Ho, was decided by scores of 7-11, 11-7, 9-11, 11-6, and 11-8, with Joshna Chinappa restoring parity in a five-game thriller.
