From the first serve, Sarthak-Hardi dictated the pace. Hardi’s explosive backhand winners and Sarthak’s impeccable net play formed a formidable wall. Snehil-Sayali, known for their endurance, pushed back with relentless rallies, but errors crept in under pressure.

Key moments defined the match: a spectacular lob from Hardi that caught Snehil off-guard, and Sarthak’s spinning serves that neutralized Sayali’s attacks. The scoreline reflected their dominance, though Snehil-Sayali’s spirited second-game surge kept spectators on edge.

As qualifiers conclude, Sarthak-Hardi’s progression underscores India’s growing mixed doubles strength. Coaches praise their synergy, honed through rigorous national training camps. With main draw opponents looming, this pair is poised to make waves, potentially etching their names in WTT history.
