PWR DUPR India Masters: The Australian pair of George Wall and Danni E Townsend secured their path to the semi-finals of the PWR DUPR India Masters at the DLTA Stadium on Saturday. It was a relatively easy outing for the duo as they beat the formidable pair of USA's Roman Estareja and Taiwan's Kao P Chuan.
From the outset, Wall and Townsend were dominant with their powerful shots and precise net play, which helped them gain an early 5-1 lead in the first game. Wall, in particular, was relentless, consistently delivering powerful smashes, and his opponents seemed bereft of answers as they clinched game 1 with a 11-2 scoreline.
As the match progressed into the second set, there was a brief moment when Roman Estareja and Kao P. Chuan seemed better prepared as the score read 3-3. But from that point onwards, Wall and Townsend showed their superior skill to take a lead that culminated in a victory in the second game, sealing their place in the next round.
