Dhruv and Tanisha, who had entered the pre-quarterfinals after a comfortable opening-round victory, could not reproduce that performance against the Chinese combination. Chen and Guo controlled the contest to secure a straight-game 21-11, 21-11 win, bringing the Indian pair\u2019s campaign to an end.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The defeat came a day after the duo had made an encouraging start to their World Championships campaign. After receiving a first-round bye, the Indians faced Macau\u2019s Leong Iok Chong and Ng Weng Chi and made short work of the contest to book their place in the last 16.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That victory had also made Dhruv and Tanisha India\u2019s final representatives in the mixed doubles draw. Their exit means the country has no pair left in the discipline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Rohan Kapoor and Ruthvika Shivani Gadde had earlier suffered a narrow defeat against Canada\u2019s Jonathan Bing Tsan Lai and Crystal Lai. The Indian pair won the opening game 22-20 but could not maintain their advantage, eventually losing 19-21, 17-21 in a closely fought contest.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
That victory had also made Dhruv and Tanisha India\u2019s final representatives in the mixed doubles draw. Their exit means the country has no pair left in the discipline.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Dhruv and Tanisha had therefore carried India\u2019s last hopes in mixed doubles into the Round of 16, but their defeat against Chen and Guo brought the country\u2019s campaign in the discipline to a close.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
