The pair against Barbora/Matthew appeared strong at the start of the first set and had a 3-0 lead. Aldila/Rohan then managed to get up and turn things around to win 7(7)-6(4).
In the second set, Barbora/Matthew appeared to dominate and forced Aldila/Rohan to lose 2-6. As for the third set, Aldila/Rohan sped up 7-1 on the tiebreak.
They were almost followed by opponents with a very narrow score difference of 8-7. In that situation, Aldila/Rohan returned to focus and finally closed the match with a score of 10-7.
Aldila/Rohan are recorded to have managed to excel overall in match statistics. They won in the initial serve (78 percent), won tie breaks, and broke the opponent's attacks.
