Quimcy Dsouza Loses Semifinal, Keeps Asian Games Medal Hopes Alive

Quimcy Dsouza is an Indian player in a sport called Teqball.

Teqball uses football skills on a curved table, and players cannot use their hands or arms.

Dsouza won both of her Group A matches and reached the singles semifinal.

She beat Japan’s top-seeded Yuina Sakamoto and Cambodia’s Koemyean DY.

In the semifinal, she won the first game against Indonesia’s Sumaya.

Sumaya then won the next two games and advanced to the final.

Dsouza will now play for a bronze medal on Sunday.

India could still win its first Teqball medal at the Asian Games.

Dsouza and Mohammed Anas Imran Beg also remain in mixed doubles medal contention.
