India at Tokyo Paralympics Day 1: Sonalben loses five-set thriller, Bhavina loses in straight sets, Follow Live updates – Bhavina Patel did not have the most auspicious start to her Paralympics debut as she succumbed to straight-sets defeat in her opening encounter against China’s Zhou Ying. Patel was outplayed by the Rio 2016 Bronze medallist and will now gear up to face against Great Britain’s Megan Shackleton on Thursday.

Sonalben Patel came close to pulling off a monumental win over world No 4 and Rio 2016 silver medallist Qian Li. Patel forced a fifth game in a five-set thriller but couldn’t carry her momentum as she began her campaign with a 3-2 defeat. Sonalben will go again tomorrow at 17.10 IST as she will take on Korea Lee Mi Gyu in Class 3 Group D.

Paralympics Table Tennis: Sonalben got off to a great start as she claimed a sensational first game to kick off the proceedings at the Tokyo Paralympics. However, Li Qian showed her class and brushed the Indian paddler off in Game 2, before Sonalben bounced back to claim a heroic Game 3 win, clinching it by 17-15. However, the world No.4 held her nerve and got the better of Sonalben in the next two games to take the game 3-2 in Tokyo.  World No.19 Patel will now look to bounce back on Thursday when she faces Mi Gyu, who won the bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Games.

Fellow paddler Bhavina Patel also faces a tough draw, as she takes on Zhou Ying in her opener, who is the Beijing and London singles champion.
