The home pair were leading Miyaura and Sakuramoto in the final set of the match when the rally began. More than three minutes later, after a jawdropping showcase of athleticism and perseverance, Tan produced a welldisguised drop shot, which Sakuramoto could not reach, to seal the point, bringing an incredulous crowd to their feet. The home hopes then went on to seal a 2117, 1821, 2119 victory.
