On a hectic day, the Indians played seven matches winning
three and losing four. But what stood out on the day was the major upset by Subhajit
Saha, ranked 259 in the world, who defeated world No. 18 Jiang Tian Yi of Hong
Kong 3-2. It was a well fought out match where fortunes fluctuated from one
extreme to another, but Saha held on gamely to outwit his opponent.
Similarly, Divya toppled world No.123 Beh Lee Wei of Malaysia 3-1 to
top the Challenger group. In fact, Divya's match proved to be one-sided with
the Malaysian girl finding it difficult to handle Divya's crispy shots.
Both Saha and Divya will now play their matches for
positions 9 to 16, slated for Sunday.
