BWF World Championships Semi-Finals Highlights: Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand’s extraordinary run ended with a fighting three-game loss to world No. 1 and defending champions Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning of China in the women’s doubles semifinals at the World Championships in New Delhi on Saturday, as the Indian pair signed off with a maiden bronze medal. The unseeded Indians produced a sensational start to pocket the opening game but could not maintain the pressure against the mighty Chinese pair, going down 21-18, 13-21, 8-21 in an hour and 11 minutes. India last won a BWF World Championships medal in women’s doubles in 2011, when Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa claimed a bronze in London.
