In Badminton, Indian women's doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand fought hard before going down in straight games to top seeded Chinese duo of Chen Qing Chen and Jia Yi Fan in the pre-quarterfinals of the World Championships at Copenhagen on Thursday.

World number 19 Gayatri and Treesa, who reached the semifinals of the All England Championships in the last two editions, could not sustain the attack against their much-fancied rival and lost 14-21, 9-21.
