Manika Batra
India's Manika Batra and Archana Kamath entered the medal round of the women's doubles in the WTT Star Contender event after beating Soo Wai Yam Minnie and Lee Ho Ching of Hong Kong 3-1 in the quarter-finals on Tuesday.
The match picked up momentum in the first game itself. The Indians, ranked sixth, fought well to win it on extended points. But in the next, they lost after gaining a slender lead.
Nevertheless, the duo did exceedingly well to put the loss behind and went 2-1 up before winning the fourth in what was a repeat of the first game.
The Indian pair, which won 13-11, 8-11, 11-5, 13-11 will take on Taipei's Li Yu-Jhun and Cheng I-Ching in the semi-finals.
