Synopsis

India’s Quimcy Dsouza narrowly missed out on a women’s singles teqball bronze medal at the Asian Games, losing 0-2 to Japan’s Yuina Sakamoto in Nagoya. Dsouza fought back strongly in both sets, holding set point in the first and taking an 10-8 lead in the second, but lost both 11-12.

Nagoya: Quimcy Dsouza produced a stunning fightback but only to fall short narrowly to lose to local favourite Yuina Sakamoto 0-2 in the bronze medal match of women's singles teqball at the Asian Games, here on Saturday.



Playing in front of a partisan crowd, the Japanese world No. 7 may have won by straight sets but the scoreline doesn't actually show the fight that the Mumbai girl produced before losing 11-12 11-12.



The match consists a best-of-three sets format and the first player to win two sets wins it.

The Mumbai girl had set point in the first game and took a 10-8 lead in the second as she looked to equalise.



She even came back from a match-point down to serve a winner, but only to commit a foul to concede the match.




The first player to reach 12 points wins a set. In the first two sets, a player can win by a single point, while if the match goes to a deciding third set, the winner must secure a two-point margin to seal the issue.

Teqball is a non-contact sport that combines a bit of football and table tennis, played by hitting a standard football back and forth over a specially curved TT-like table.

Players use any part of their body except their hands and arms, with a maximum of three touches allowed per side to return the ball.



The sport made its debut at the 20th edition of the continental showpiece.
