Swiss Open: Treesa Jolly-Gayatri Gopichand bow out in semis – Highlights

Slipping away from Treesa-Gayatri

This seems to be slipping away from Treesa-Gayatri now as they trail by six points at 12-18. Can they force their way back into this game? Or will Liu-Tan force a decider?

Liu-Tan open up a lead

Another fantastic rally. 77 shots. Both pairs had their chances, forcing the opponents to make recoveries. They do so as well, diving around the court.

It eventually falls in favour of the Chinese pair as Gayatri is caught off-guard at the net as a cross court shot lands to her. She could only manage to hit it into the net.

Liu-Tan lead 16-12.

Another long rally!

77 shots this time before Tan's backhand stop fails to go past the net. The point falls in favour of Treesa-Gayatri, who trail 10-12 in the second game.

Liu-Tan LEAD!

A slender two-point advantage at the mid-game interval for world No 1 Liu and Tan. They lead 11-9.

Treesa, WOW!

An intense rally and Treesa Jolly pulls out a backhand cross court. It completely opens up the left side of the court of the Chinese pair. The shuttle lands just in.

That was some shot from Treesa. The Indians trail 9-10.

Liu-Tan take the lead

Treesa-Gayatri led 6-3 in the second game but a slew of errors from them sees the Chinese pair have bounced back and now lead 8-7. This is the first time Liu and Tan have the lead, since the first point of the match!

Treesa-Gayatri start well

Treesa-Gayatri start well in the second game, opening up a 3-0 lead. Liu and Tan then show some aggression, hitting consecutive shots into Gayatri's body before the Indians concede a point. 

Treesa-Gayatri take the opening game

Some good defensive work from Gayatri before Liu hits a smash straight into the net as Treesa-Gayatri pocket the opening game 21-15 in 26 minutes. 

They were never really tested there, were they? 

Treesa and Gayatri, though, cannot afford to get carried away by this phase of play. They would love to wrap this up in straight games.

Treesa-Gayatri in control

This is all too easy for Treesa-Gayatri at the moment. Liu and Tan are struggling for answers as the Indians continue to press into the net and attack their bodies.

Treesa-Gayatri lead 16-10.

Treesa-Gayatri LEAD!

Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand have come out all guns blazing. A shot from the Chinese pair goes long and they lead 11-6 at the first mid-game interval.

Can they sustain this momentum on the other side of this short break?
