Treesa Jolly / Gayathri Gopichand  

Unbelievable, Marvelous, doesn't even feel like I'll get a dream about them reaching in semis. 

 

The teenagers have been saving match points all tournament , no different against Worlds '21 silver medallist and current No 2 Lee So Hee /Shin Seung Chan today. 

 

Was sad to see they didn't make the tournament at draws, just got a last moment entry along with the Brazilian pair due to withdrawals and they have made the most of it in a field of all Olympic medallists.

 

The last time we had won a title in this tournament was when Gayathri's father Pullela won the Men's Singles .

Lakshya  into the finals v Axelsen what a mouthwatering final  

 

Fantastic tournament for teenagers Treesa / Gayathri ,promoted from the reserves, reaching the semis ,first ever doubles semifinalist at All England. Treesa might revolutionize world badminton in women's doubles with her powerful jump smashes. Can hold their head high despite the loss yesterday coming through the quarter of world silver medallist and olympic champions to make it to the semis

Men's single:  Axelsen

Women's single:  Yamaguchi

Men's doubles:   Fikri/Maulana

Basically we have the same prediction except the Women's Singles
