Feel bad for Jadumani Singh. Pushing the top seed to a 2-3 split decision means he was right there. Sometimes luck doesn't go your way. He should hold his head high.

Great performances, but a small note: the article jumps between days a bit too much. It would be clearer if the Day 3 focus was maintained before bringing in earlier results. Still, fantastic news overall!
