Lilian Bardet gave U Mumba TT the perfect start, defeating Sathiyan Gnanasekaran 2-1 in the opening singles rubber. After edging a close first game 11-10, Bardet dropped the second 4-11 but responded strongly with an 11-4 win in the decider. Bernadette Szocs followed it up with a 2-1 win over Diya Chitale. Chitale took the first game 11-3, but Szocs levelled with a narrow 11-10 Golden Point win and closed out the match 11-8.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The momentum carried into the mixed doubles, where Szocs partnered with Akash Pal to beat Izaac Quek and Diya Chitale in the opening game, confirming U Mumba\u2019s place in the semifinals. Delhi, however, bounced back, winning the remaining two games and, subsequently, the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Abhinandh PB added two more points for U Mumba with a 2-1 win over Singapore\u2019s Izaac Quek. Abhinandh, in his first appearance of the season, started strong, taking the first two games, before Izaac pulled one back with an 11-7 win, enough to take Dabang Delhi to the top of the table.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the final rubber, Yashaswini Ghorpade defeated her World Youth Championships 2023 teammate Suhana Saini 3-0, winning two tight games on Golden Point before closing the match 11-3.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
