the opening games and sailed through the first 2 games easily. Saurav lifted
his game and made a strong comeback in the third and the fourth game with
relative ease. Saurav made an aggressive start to the fifth game and he took the
final set extremely comfortably to win the 85 minutes thriller to advance to
the last sixteen.
“I had to dig pretty hard to win this,” admitted Ghosal.

spell, and I started to believe, felt more confident. And physically, I felt
fine”, he said.
