Lucknow, Dec 1: The Indian women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand capped a remarkable week by clinching a maiden Super 300 title with a commanding straight-game victory over China's Bao Li Jing and Li Qian in the Syed Modi International final on Sunday.
The Commonwealth Games bronze medallists, who have also secured qualification to the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals in China, looked in scintillating form as they outplayed their Chinese opponents 21-18, 21-11 in just 40 minutes.
This victory marked a historic moment as Treesa and Gayatri became the first Indian women's doubles pair to win the title at this tournament. The pair had finished runner-up in the 2022 edition.
The Indian duo started strong, surging to a 4-0 lead in the opening game. However, Bao and Li fought back, making it a closely contested affair at 14-14. Treesa's diving effort in the front court and errors from the Chinese allowed the Indians to edge ahead 17-15. |
