The Hindu

In the second stanza, the tide turned as Harris’ level dropped and Schoolkate found the forecourt a hospitable place. In Saturday’s summit clash, they will meet the second-seeded Australian duo Blake Bayldon and Matthew Christopher Romios, which overcame Siddhant Banthia and Parikshit Somani 6-3, 7-6.
