Ivan-Rachel staged a magnificent comeback to down Abhay Singh-Anahat Singh 10-11, 11-4, 11-6 in the semifinal at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre.

Their reward is a title showdown against another pair from India, Harinder Pal Singh-Dipika Pallikal, tomorrow.

Ivan, who credited their semifinal win to the strategy drawn up by their coach, hopes they will be able to play just as well in the final.

“I think in today’s match, everything went according to our strategy, and we managed to make the necessary adjustments between the first and second games.

“I am very happy with the win and, hopefully, you will see a much better performance from us tomorrow,” Ivan said in an audio clip shared with the media today.

Harinder-Dipika advanced to the final after downing Malaysian pair Syafiq Kamal-Aifa Azman 11-9, 11-6.
