Ghosh and Mouma had to satisfy with the silver, while the
bronze went to another Indian pair of Sanil Shetty and Manika Batra.
With these three medals in pocket, along with the teams’ goad
(men) and silver (women), India
overhauled their highest medal tally—they won nine medals from the last edition
at New Delhi —to
reach the figure of 16 medals.
It was a clean sweep of medals for the Indian men’s pairs,
thanks to a fine performance by Sudhanshu Grover and Abhishek Yadav, who
outsmarted the No. 2 seed duo of Singapore ’s Panx Xue Ji and Chen
Feng in the fourth quarterfinal.
Grover and Yadav beat their rivals 11-6, 10-12, 7-11, 11-9,
11-8 to earn a semifinal meeting with Soumyajit Ghosh and Harmeet Desai who got
a walkover from the Scottish pair of Rumgay Gavin and Craig Howieson, who had
to return home last night.
The other semifinal will feature Anthony Amalraj and Sanil
Shetty who accounted for Cyprus ’
Marios Yiangou and Hristo Hristonov 11-2, 11-5, 11-4, and G. Sathiyan and
Devesh Karia, the two benefitting from the walkover of top-seeded Singapore
