BWF World C’ships: Dhruv-Tanisha's Campaign Ends In Pre-quarters
Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium: India’s Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto’s run at the BWF World Championships came to an end in the Round of 16 on Thursday, with the 15th-seeded mixed doubles pair going down to China’s Chen Fang and Guo Xinwa at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi.
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’s campaign to an end.
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’s Leong Iok Chong and Ng Weng Chi and made short work of the contest to book their place in the last 16.
