The Indian teenager made far too many mistakes against the Spaniard and yet managed to win a game off her in a match that lasted 30 minutes in the round of 128. The Siliguri girl lost 9-11 8-11 7-11 11-8, 2-11. Ankita had earlier received a bye in the preliminary round. <\/p>\n<p>As for Ghosh, he showed his attacking prowess and began in style by winning the first two games. But Gustavo came back strongly to take the third game at 11-7 when Ghosh gave away some easy points. The Indian, however, managed to win the fourth extended game at 12-10 only to lose the fifth game as the Brazilian ran up a 4-0 lead. <\/p>\n<p>From there the game was going one way as Ghosh was struggling to put the ball back across and this helped only his opponent\u2019s cause as Ghosh was at least two points behind the Brazilian all the time until the latter went from strength to strength from there to shunt Ghosh out.<\/p>\n<p>Ghosh, unwilling to give in, put his best foot forward in the sixth game and led narrowly at 6-4 after the Brazilian had levelled at 3-3. The lead kept changing hands with both the paddlers attacking with beautiful returns and good topspin smashes. <\/p>\n<p>They were level at 7-7 and for the first time Gustavo went up at 8-7 before Ghosh restoring parity at 9-all. Though the Brazilian went 10-9 up, Ghosh made it 10-all and then clinically finished him with two straight points to seal the match.<\/p>\n<p>Ghosh was happy about his second round entry but said that he shouldn\u2019t have allowed his opponent any room in the third game which allowed him a semblance of comeback. \u201cI should have pushed him hard, but he was good. My shots and serves worked well today. I am happy I have progressed well,\u201d said Ghosh who will take on Matiss Burgis of Lativia in round two.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London: Soumyajit Ghosh kept India\u2019s table tennis challenge alive as he moved into the second round of the main draw when he beat Gustavo Tsuboi of Brazil 4-2 (11-9, 14-12, 7-11, 12-10, 5-11, 12-10) in a keen contest that lasted nearly 90 minutes on table two at the ExCel centre here tonight.
