First Win of the year for Ayhika-Sutirtha

The Asian medalist duo of Ayhika and Sutirtha ended their six-match losing streak to progress to the next round of the ITTF World Championships.

They didn't have an easy task in the first round, as they were forced to play a five-game thriller by the less experienced Turkish pair of Ozge Yilmaz and Ece Harac.

Final Score: Ayhika-Sutirtha (IND) 3-2 (4-11, 11-9, 10-12, 11-9, 11-7) Yilmaz-Harac (TUR)
