Birmingham [UK], March 18 (ANI): The Indian women's doubles duo of Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly bowed out of the All England Open 2023 on Saturday after losing to South Korean pair of Ha Na Baek and So Hee Lee.
As per Olympics.com, Gayatri and Jolly lost the semifinals 10-21, 10-21 in two straight games.
The Indian pair had bowed out of the tournament at the same stage during the last edition as well when they lost to China's Shu Xian Zhang and Yu Zheng.
Gopichand and Jolly were off to a poor start in the semis and trailed behind their world number 20 opponents. They cut their opposition's lead midway but some unforced errors cost India the first game.
The duo could not bounce back as Koreans stormed to a 11-2 lead. Despite playing long rallies, Indian players could not make a comeback and Korea won the match in 46 minutes.

The Indian pair started their campaign with a win over the seventh-seeded Thai pair of Jongkolphan Kititharakul and Rawinda Prajongjai by 21-18, 21-14.
