Indian challenge in the Singapore Super Series came to an
end on Friday when the mixed doubles combination of Jwala Gutta and V Diju went
down 13-21, 21-14, 21-17 against Hung Ling Chen and Wen Hsing Cheng of Chinese
Taipei in the quarterfinals.
The Indian combination began on an aggressive note taking
the first game in just 11 minutes with Jwala showing brilliant interception
abilities at the net. But the change of ends also changed the fortunes for the former
national champions as both Jwala and Diju were struggling for consistency.
There were many occasions where Jwala and Diju both failed
to read the flight of the shuttle or lost the trajectory of the shuttle and
thereby swinging wild without contact.
The pair will now be training in Hyderabad till the
Olympics.
Result (quarterfinals)
Mixed doubles: Jwala Gutta/V Diju lost to Hung Ling Chen/Wen
Hsing Cheng 13-21, 21-14, 21-17
