PIC/AFP The 19-year-old gave a good account of himself in his Olympic debut. He had entered the second round beating Brazil&rsquo;s Gustavo Tsuboi, a player ranked more than 100 places above him. &ldquo;The aim was to play freely and enjoy my first Olympic experience. I am glad I was able to beat a higher-ranked player (Gustavo). Kim was beatable too but I could not raise my level like yesterday,&rdquo; Ghosh told IANS. Ankita Das, India&rsquo;s lone representative in the women&rsquo;s singles, exited the tournament after losing her first round match against Spaniard Sara Ramirez on Saturday.
