Lakshya’s defeat was the big shock of the day, as it was among the biggest upsets in the competition. The 2021 bronze medalist, who is seeded 14th, lost to 18-year-old United States of America (USA) star Garret Tan in a three-set thriller, which lasted 73 minutes. He won the first set but could not consolidate the lead as the youngster made a comeback.
