Simran and Ritika defeat Thai duo and advance to the round of 16!

Indian women’s pairing of Simran Singhi and Ritika Thaker defeated Thailand’s Phattharin and Napapakorn 21-14, 21-13 and advanced into the round of 16 of the Malaysian Masters 2024. 

Hooda/Arora lose to Hsu/Lin, exit the Malaysian Masters.

Like Rutaparna/Swetaparna, the Indian pair of Unnat Hooda and Palak Arora also exited the Malaysian Masters in the round of 32, losing out to the Chinese Taipei pairing of Y.Hsu and J.Lin 21-10, 21-5. 

Rutuparna/Swetaparna crash out in the round of 32!

Rutuparna Panda and Swetaparna Panda exit the Malaysian Masters 2024 in the round of 32, losing to Chinese Taipei duo C.Yu and S.Y.Sung with the scoreline reading 21-10, 21-7. 

Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand advance to the round of 16

The Indian pair did not have it that easy at court 4 as their counterparts Yu-Hs/Ting from Chinese Taipei started strongly and went blow for blow. However, once the initial dust settled, the Indians took the upper hand and never looked back. 

The script was identical in the second game as well, albeit the Taipei duo fought a bit more and prolonged what was an inevitable result for the Indians. They played with far more aggression and were in perfect sync, something their opponents lacked dearly.

Treesa and Gayatri now await their opponents for the round of 16 while the Taipei duo Yu-Hs and Ting make an early exit from the Malaysian Masters 2024. 

Game 2: Treesa/Gayathri 21-10 Yu-Hs/Ting

Although at one point the second game went close, at 12-10, Treesa and Gayatri brought the heat down on Yu-Hs and Ting and went on a scoring spree resulting in a comfortable win. 

Another insane rally and this time it is the Indians who get the spoils! Treesa/Gayathri 17-10 Yu-Hs/Ting

The Indian pair are turning the screws and are looking to finish off the game quickly and their opponents have no answer to them. 

Incredible rally! Treesa/Gayathri 12-10 Yu-Hs/Ting

The rally seemed to go on forever (not that we are complaining it was a brilliant display of athleticism and skill) but the Taipei duo had the last laugh as the shuttle hit the net when the Indians tried to return it. 

Treesa/Gayathri 11-9 Yu-Hs/Ting

Treesa and Gayatri continue their strong showing in the match and are not starting to pull ahead in game 2. 

Treesa/Gayathri 5-5 Yu-Hs/Ting

Indeed, the Indians seem to have found a way to counter the Taipei attack and are back in the game!
