Hangzhou (China), Dec 10 (NationPress) Historically, singles players have upheld India's reputation in badminton until the rise of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty. Following their success, the women's doubles team of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand has emerged as strong contenders, surpassing the singles players this year.
The duo is set to make a significant impact as they compete in the BWF World Tour Finals 2024, beginning on Wednesday at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gym.
Treesa and Gayatri will carry the hopes of the nation as the only representatives from India in the BWF World Tour Finals 2024 – Group Stage.
In their opening match, they will challenge the Chinese team of Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning in the women's doubles category.
