Farhan, the shorter player in the match, was nevertheless fleet-footed and the better mover on the court, stretching across his half with remarkable agility. He positioned himself perfectly in the midcourt, transitioning between front and back of the court smoothly, as he extended his lead to 16-12. Two unforced errors, with both of Farhan’s shots going wide, allowed Ayush to reduce the margin to 14-16.
