Top-seeded India defeated Angola 3-0 without having to break
a sweat while their women, though had an upset beginning, trounced Sri Lanka
3-1 to look ahead.
With just five teams—Portugal, Macau, Sri Lanka and Angola,
besides hosts India—in fray in both the sections, the first stage got around
with group league matches.
Indian men, comprising Anthony Amal Raj, Soumyajit Ghosh and
Harmeet Desai, won though Ghosh dropped a game against Allesion Antonia 3-1
(11-4, 8-11, 11-8, 11-8) to make the match somewhat interesting. Both Amal
Raj and Desai accounted for their opponents, Elisandro Quebuco and Edvane Neto
in straight games.
In the other men’s team events, Portugal
downed Sri Lanka 3-0 and
Macau defeated Angola
3-0 the first round matches.
Earlier, the second top-ranked Indian Madhurika Patkar,
based on her ranking position after the Patna
Senior Nationals, was patchy to begin with and it reflected in her match
against Ishara. The Sri Lankan, on the other hand, maximized her chances with
the Indian making too many faults both at net as well as giving away negative
points, losing 2-3. But both Ankita Das and K. Shamini won their
matches against their Sri Lankan opponents to retrieve the
situation. In the other women’s team fare, Portugal beat Angola
3-0, Sri Lanka defeated Macau 3-1.
The table tennis events at the Games are conducted under the
supervision of Ganeshan Neelakant Iyer, the competition manager, with Atul
Dubey as the referee. The Games organizers have drafted in 35
officials, including jury members in MP Singh and Arun Benerjee.
