No upsets on day one but Argentina push India close

The first day of the world teams in Mulhouse saw 15 matches split over the two venues in three sessions of play.

In the end all the seeded teams won, with the closest to an upset coming in the last match of the day as Argentina seriously troubled 8th seeds India. Robertino Pezzota put the 21/24 seeds ahead with a 99-minute five-game win over Harinderpal Sandhu.

Saurav Ghosal tied the match up with a straight-games win, then India's fourth string Mahesh Mangaonkar came from a game down to beat Leandro Romiglio, much to the relief of the Indian camp.
