Securing a straight-games victory over Hong Kong’s Yeung Nga Ting and Yeung Pui Lam to book their place in the semifinals.
The Indian pair delivered a dominant performance, winning 21-18, 21-14 in just under 40 minutes.
With this win, Treesa and Gayatri, fondly called #TreGa, have set up a massive semifinal clash against the World No. 1 pair Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning of China.
The upcoming battle promises to be a stern test for the Indian duo as they look to challenge the reigning world leaders and push for a place in the final.
A Statement Win Against a Tough Opponent
Coming into the match, Treesa and Gayatri were well aware of the challenge posed by the Yeung sisters, whom they had lost to in a close encounter at the Singapore Open 2023 (18-16, 19-21).
Determined to turn the tables this time, the Indian duo showcased excellent tactical discipline, sharp net play, and solid defense to register a commanding win.
In the first game, both pairs engaged in fast-paced rallies, with the Hong Kong duo trying to disrupt India’s rhythm. However, Treesa and Gayatri held their nerve in the crucial moments, closing the opener 21-18.
The second game saw the Indian duo raise their intensity, cutting down on errors and taking control of the net exchanges. Their aggressive smashes and quick reflexes proved too much for the Hong Kong pair, as they sealed the game 21-14, ensuring a straight-games triumph.
Into the Semis: A Huge Test Against the World No. 1 Pair
