Indian Women's Doubles Pair Reaches Semifinals at BWF Super 750 Event
Indian women's doubles pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand continue to shine at the BWF World Tour Super 750 event in Malaysia, reaching their first-ever semifinal at this level. The duo, ranked 30th in the world, displayed resilience and determination to overcome the challenge of world no. 6 Korean pair Kim So Yeong and Kong Hee Yong in a thrilling quarterfinal encounter.
After dropping the first game 18-21, Treesa and Gayatri fought back to win the second game 21-19. The third game was a nail-biter, with both pairs trading points and the lead changing hands several times. However, the Indians held their nerve to secure a 24-22 victory and book their place in the semifinals.
Their victory is a testament to their hard work and dedication, as they have consistently performed well in recent tournaments. Earlier in the tournament, they defeated the world no. 2 Korean pair of Baek Na Ha and Lee So Hee in the Round of 16.
Treesa and Gayatri are the only Indians remaining in the tournament, as ace shuttler PV Sindhu and HS Prannoy were eliminated in the women's singles and men's singles second round, respectively.
The Indian pair will face the winner of the second quarterfinal between Nami Matsuyama-Chiharu Shifa of Japan and Apriyani Rahayu-Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti of Indonesia in the semifinals on Saturday.
