India’s Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand assured themselves of a medal at the World Championships with a comefrom-behind win over China’s Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian in the women’s doubles quarterfinal on Friday.
The Indian unseeded pair, which is on a comeback trail after Treesa recovered from an injury, toiled for one hour nine minutes to produce one of the biggest wins of their career, a 16-21 21-15 21-13 triumph to cruise to the last four stage and be assured of at least a bronze medal.
