Mixed doubles performance was disappointing except for Sathish-Aadya. Our players need more consistency in international tournaments. The Danish pair completely outplayed Ashith-Amrutha 😔

Why is our men's singles performance declining? First Prannoy-Lakshya out, now Kiran. We need to find new talent quickly. Satwik-Chirag are our only hope in men's doubles now.

So proud of our women shuttlers! Treesa-Gayatri's win and PV Sindhu still in contention. Women's badminton is bringing more glory to India than men's these days 👏

The 22-20 second game score shows Treesa-Gayatri handled pressure well. These close matches build character. Hope they maintain this form against tougher opponents ahead!

While we celebrate wins, we must also acknowledge the gap between our players and top international standards. More investment needed in grassroots badminton development across India.
