Final Scorecard

Guru Prasath M (Lowe’s) def Ankit Semwal (Cognizant)

12-21, 21-10, 21-13

Story

The first game slipped away quickly.

Ankit Semwal (Cognizant) controlled the exchanges early, dictating pace and forcing errors. Guru Prasath M (Lowe’s) looked unsettled — rushed footwork, mistimed clears.

Then something changed.

Guru stopped chasing points.

He started constructing them.

The second game was a statement. Faster recovery. Sharper net control. Suddenly, Ankit was reacting instead of dictating.

By the decider, belief had shifted sides.

Every long rally tilted toward Guru. Every defensive return came back one more time than expected. When match point arrived, there was no hesitation — only commitment.

Closing Line

Comebacks don’t ask for permission. They arrive when belief does.
