A first-round exit on World Championships debut for Ankur

The 18-year-old Ankur Bhattacharjee had a disappointing outing at the first round of his maiden world championship match, losing in five games to higher-ranked Lam Siu Hang of Hong Kong. 

Ankur won the first game of the match and also had his chances in a couple of the following games, but he failed to maintain his lead and lost those games closely, ending his campaign in Doha.

Final Score: Ankur Bhattacharjee (IND) 1-4 (11-4, 7-11, 9-11, 10-12, 8-11) Lam Siu Hang
