Asian Games: Quimcy Dsouza Loses Teqball Singles Bronze Match To Japan’s Sakamoto
Mohamed Anas Imran Beg: India’s Quimcy Dsouza missed out on a bronze medal in the women’s singles Teqball event after losing to Japan’s Yuina Sakamoto in a closely fought contest at the Asian Games on Sunday.
Playing against the home favourite and world No. 7, Quimcy had to recover from an early deficit in the opening set but could not convert her comeback into a winning start. Sakamoto eventually held her nerve in the decisive exchanges to take the set 12-11.
Quimcy had trailed 3-6 and later 7-9 before mounting a spirited fightback. She moved ahead 11-10, only for Sakamoto to level the scores before edging the final points to claim the set.
