Disappointing loss for Ajay ... Pang won 1st game before Ajay got settle in the match ... Next both games stretched to extra points ... Ajay won 2nd game and in 3rd game Ajay saved couple of match points at 18-20 ... Then Ajay had couple of match points which he failed to convert before Pang converted third match point.
