Asian Games: Joshna-Senthilkumar Secure Bronze After Squash Mixed Doubles SF Loss
Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena: India's mixed doubles pair Joshna Chinappa and Velavan Senthilkumar secured a bronze medal after losing to Hong Kong, China pair Lee Ka Yi and Tang Ming Hong in the semifinal at the Nagoya Kinjo Futo Arena on Saturday.
In a nerve-racking match, the Indian pair lost the semifinal 1-2 (10-11, 11-2, 10-11) and failed to reach the final. Chinappa and Senthilkumar had three match points in the nail-biting third game when they were leading 10-8, but conceded all those opportunities with Chinappa hitting one over the bounds to concede the decider and settle for a bronze.
This is Chinappa's sixth Asian Games medal, with the veteran previously winning three bronze and two silver medals. However, her cabinet still misses the elusive gold medal from the continental event.
