Weng Hongyang is off to a flying start and Ayush Shetty is already under pressure here.

6–11 at the interval in game one, and it’s Weng dictating the pace early on. He’s sharper at the net, quicker into the rear-court exchanges, and forcing Shetty to play from deep way too often.

Shetty has shown flashes, those long rallies are there, but he’s just a step behind in timing right now. Weng is not giving him any free rhythm, constantly varying pace and keeping the shuttle flat when needed.

Big gap already opening in this opening game. Shetty needs a response quickly, or this could slip away from him early.

Weng Hongyang is running away with game one, leading 19–8, with Ayush Shetty struggling to hold the rally together under constant pressure. Shetty’s errors have crept in, short lifts and mistimed clears are feeding Weng easy mid-court chances, and the Chinese shuttler is making no mistake in punishing them with sharp, early smashes and tight net control.

Weng is dictating tempo, taking the shuttle early and keeping Shetty on the back foot almost every rally, while the Indian is unable to find depth or stability in defence. At this stage, the pattern is fully one-way traffic unless Shetty can reset quickly

Weng Hongyang takes the opening game 21–8, stamping full control from start to finish. Ayush Shetty never quite settled into rhythm, with the Chinese shuttler dictating pace through sharp early interceptions and heavy mid-court pressure that kept forcing rushed replies.

Shetty tried to change things with the drop and variation, but the execution never quite held under pressure, leading to a string of errors that widened the gap quickly. Weng stayed composed throughout, mixing steep attacks with tight net play to close out game one comfortably.

Game two is much tighter, with Weng Hongyang just edging it 15–14 at the moment. Ayush Shetty has responded well after the one-sided opening game, keeping the rallies more structured and finding better depth on his clears to stop Weng from stepping in early.

There’s a bit more patience in his shot selection too, especially in the mid-court exchanges where he’s not rushing the finish.

Weng, though, is still sharp on the counter, picking up loose lifts and keeping constant pressure through quick transitions. It’s a proper contest now, with neither player able to fully break away in this second game.

19–19 and this is getting tense.

Ayush Shetty has completely dragged himself back into this second game, matching Weng Hongyang shot for shot now. The rallies are longer, the clears are finally holding depth, and that early pressure from Weng isn’t landing as cleanly anymore. Shetty’s defence has tightened too, he’s absorbing pace better and getting the shuttle back low instead of offering up those easy mid-court lifts.

Weng is still dangerous, especially when he can step in early, but now he’s being forced into extra shots, and that’s slowing his rhythm. At 19–19, it’s down to who blinks first in these final exchanges.

Ayush Shetty steals game two 22–20 and we are going the distance.

From 19–19, he holds his nerve better in the crunch moments, tightening his defence and refusing to gift those short lifts that were killing him earlier. The clears suddenly carry more depth, forcing Weng Hongyang a step deeper and taking away that early interception game.

Weng still had chances, especially at 20–20, but Shetty’s shot selection stayed cleaner under pressure, less rush, more patience in the rallies, and just enough variation to keep the Chinese shuttler guessing at the net.

game 3 Ayush is leading 4-2

Decider is underway and Ayush Shetty has come out sharp, leading 4–2 early in game three. There’s a clear shift in energy from him now, he’s playing with more intent on the front foot.

Ayush Shetty leads 17–10 in the decider and is firmly in control now. He’s kept the clears deep, tightened his defence, and stopped giving easy mid-court openings, while Weng Hongyang is starting to rush and force errors. The momentum is fully with the Indian as the finish line comes into view.

Ayush Shetty pulls off a stunning comeback, beating Weng Hongyang 8–21, 22–20, 21–15. After being completely outplayed in the opening game, Shetty flips the match with a composed second-game rescue and then takes full control in the decider.

The Indian tightened his defence, held deeper clears, and started dictating rallies instead of reacting, while Weng faded as the pressure and rally length increased. A massive turnaround and a statement win after a rough start.

That’s a wrap on this one. We’ll be back with another live blog soon, until then, goodbye.
