Syed Modi International: Gayatri-Treesa Retains Women’s Doubles Title, Srikanth Settles For Silver In Men's Singles
Syed Modi India International BWF: The women’s doubles combination of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly retained their title in the Syed Modi International with a hard-fought win over Japan’s Kaho Osawa and Mai Tanabe, while former World No.1 Kidambi Srikanth went down in the men’s singles final.
In the women’s doubles final, Gayatri and Treesa came back from a game down to beat Osawa and Tanabe 17-21, 21-13, 21-15 in an hour and 16 minutes to clinch the title, while Srikanth went down 16-21, 21-8, 20-22 in the men’s singles final at the Babu Banarasi Das U.P. Badminton Academy Hall in Lucknow on Sunday.
Playing only their second tournament after a long injury lay-off, which resulted in the absence of Gayatri, the Indian combination had reached the final without dropping a game. But in the summit clash, they needed time to get into their rhythm from a slightly difficult end, and that cost them the opening game.
