Setiawan took the early lead in the encounter and built a 13-8 advantage by the mid-game interval and despite a fightback, which saw Kadam close the gap to 17-18, the Indonesian eventually lost the first game 17-21.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kadam\u2019s start in the second game was much better than the first but he was not able to withstand pressure from the Indonesian and found himself trailing by the mid-game interval. Kadam\u2019s repeated attempts to get back into the game were shut down by Frede as the Indian lost 18-21 in the second match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Kadam\u2019s journey into the final has not been an easy one. His very first match in the singles category saw him square up against Malaysia\u2019s Mohd Amin Burhanuddin in a gruelling encounter that lasted 61 minutes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sukant, making his Paralympics debut on the night, won the contest 2-1 before defeating Thailand\u2019s Siripong Teamarrom in a relatively easy encounter considering it concluded in less than half the time of the opening match (25 minutes).<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the two opening wins against Asian opponents, Kadam found himself in a matchup against compatriot and 2020 Tokyo silver medallist Suhas Lalinakere Yathiraj. But he fell to the 41-year-old veteran with a final score of 0-2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Setiawan on the other hand also won both his Group C games against Nigheria\u2019s Chigozie Jeremiah Nnanna and Germany\u2019s Marcel Adam 2-0 which saw him seal a spot in the semifinals where he lost in straight games against Tokyo 2020 gold medallist, Lucas Mazur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
