Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand won their first-ever meeting against Malaysia’s Cheng Su Hui and Tan Zhing Yi.

Top seeds Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand kicked off their Syed Modi International 2025 campaign with a hard-fought victory, headlining a strong opening day for India at the Babu Banarasi Das Indoor Stadium.

The country’s leading women’s doubles pair recovered from a slow start to defeat Malaysia’s Cheng Su Hui and Tan Zhing Yi 19-21, 22-20, 21-9 in their first-ever meeting.

After dropping the opening game, Treesa and Gayatri steadied their defence, tightened the net exchanges, and powered through a dominant decider to move into the pre-quarters.
