Manav concedes the opening game

Manav Thakkar fights well. He gives it his all, but Harimoto shows why he is world class. The Japanese paddler, after hitting a few into the net at the start, holds his nerves to take the opening game 13-11.

Thakkar might have lost the first game but he'll take a lot of positives from this one as he tries to push Harimoto.
