'Being Pullela Gopichand's daughter is a big baggage': Coach B Sumeeth Reddy

NEW DELHI: For B Sumeeth Reddy, the euphoria that followed Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand's historic moment at the BWF World Championships on Friday was about far more than a guaranteed bronze medal. It was about two players finally laying down the weight they had carried for years.India's unseeded women's doubles pair produced one of the finest victories of their careers, coming from a game down to defeat China's Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian 16-21, 21-15, 21-13 in New Delhi. The win assured them of at least a bronze medal.It also ended a 15-year wait for an Indian women's doubles medal at the World Championships, with Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa having last reached the podium in 2011.Starting with Gayatri being Gopi sir's daughter. It's a big baggage.
