Bhavina Patel has lost her first game against Zhou Ying of in Table Tennis - Women's Singles C4 - Group A Match - Sportskeeda India (@Sportskeeda) Final scoresheet: Match analysis:
China's Zhou Ying showed her class in this opening round contest as she did not allow India's Bhavina Patel any inroads into the contest.
Bhavina looked sharp in her strokeplay today as she continues to hold her own in some of the rallies, but barring the second game, the Indian could not quite manage to keep pace with a red-hot opponent.
Bhavina will still be looking to come back strong after the defeat and with the nerves of a big-stage debut out of the way, we can expect a stronger showing! Zhou def. Bhavina 3-0! 2-11 - It is game over for Bhavina in this contest as Zhou has taken a comfortable third game! 2-10 - The surge continues as Zhou arrives at matchpoint! 2-7 - This is turning into a very steady game from the former champion. Bhavina running out of steam here. 2-5 - It is close, but Zhou continues to keep her advatange. The Indian is alive and kicking in this round-robin contest against the world’s very best, but can she find some magic as we head for the finish line?! A breather for Bhavina as she opts for a timeout. 1-4 - Zhou is not giving away anything; it is cruise control at the moment. 1-2 - Last shot for Bhavina as this is a must win game! Game 3 underway!

Zhou leads Bhavina 1-0! 3-11 - That was a blistering start from Zhou and Bhavina will need to step up here! 3-9 - Better rallying from the Indian as she is slowly looking to find her range. 2-8 - Bhavina stops the rot, but it is too late in this opening game? 1-7 - Bhavina yet to find inroads into the contest as it has been all Zhou so far. 1-6 - The Chinese is looking rather dialed in here as she races to a lead. 1-3 - Zhou opens a bit of a cushion over Bhavina. 1-1 - Score level in the very early stages.
