Bhajan thus lost 5-6 to the Indonesian archer in the 1/8 elimination round for the quarterfinals.

In the opening set, the Indian duo managed to lead in the quarter-finals after Dhiraj struck back-to-back ten in his first two shots, while Ankita hit nine twice to accumulate 38 points. In reply, the Spanish duo struck nine thrice and a single ten to bag 37 points. <br /><br />All archers struck a ten and a nine to take away 38 points and end the second set on level terms. Spain tied the score line at 3-3 after Pablo and Elia sent an arrow each to the 10-point mark. For India, only Dhiraj was able to hit a ten in his second shot, which marked India's downfall in the third set. Spain won the third set by a single point after picking up 37 points, and in reply, India managed to put in 36 points. <br /><br />In the fourth set, Ankita fluffed her second shot and hit an eight. Dhiraj compensated by hitting back-to-back ten to put 37 points on the board. <br /><br />In reply, Pablo and Elia didn't get off to an ideal start in their first shots. Pablo struck nine while Elia could only manage an eight. They could have taken away a point by hitting the ten-point region twice, but only Elia could pull off the feat out of the two Spanish archers. <br /><br />The Spanish archers failed to keep the quarter-finals clash alive, which allowed the Indian duo to move into the semi-finals to play for a medal match.

It was raining 10s from the bows of both archers which led to a highly captivating contest between the two archers. Dhiraj came close but fell too far at the end which sealed his exit from the event.<br /><br />The first set began with a 10 from Dhiraj proving to be the difference between the two archers. Dhiraj took the lead but Peters relying on his accuracy fought back to level the match. The third set began with Peters hitting three 9s while Dhiraj struck two 10s to take away the third set. In the fourth set, both archers struck 10 on each shot to take away a point each.<br /><br />Dhiraj was one step away from sealing his place in the next round but a nine in his final shot allowed Peters to force the game into shoot-off. Both archers struck ten but Peters' arrow was closer to the centre which allowed him to move into the next round and end Dhiraj's run in the singles event.<br /><br />
