The Indian pair lost to the Chinese Taipei duo of Ya Ching Tsu and Yu Po Pai 21-17 15-21 21-15 in the opening round in a match that lasted for 45 minutes, thereby adding a slightly sour taste to a good start for India at the competition, with Parupalli Kashyap winning his first match against Zi Liang Derek Wong of Singapore 21-17 21-13.
The Chinese Pair had the upper hand for most part of the 1st Game but Jwala and Ashwini came roaring back in the next game, winning 6 consecutive points as compared to their opponents’s 3. But the deciding game saw Tsu and Pai stage a comeback and they eventually sealad the game and the match in their favour.
Jwala and Ashwini haven’t had the greatest of times as a pairing recently. They suffered an early elimination from the All England Championships as well last month, where they lost to another Chinese pairing of Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei.
