Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand Win World Championship Bronze

Treesa Jolly is famous for hitting very powerful smashes.

But her team’s bronze medal was also won through careful play near the net.

After hurting her leg, Treesa practiced only serves and small net shots for many days.

Her coach believed these basic skills could surprise stronger opponents.

Gayatri Gopichand worked harder from the back of the court.

She also became very good at intercepting fast shots near the net.

Together, they changed their style instead of relying only on big smashes.

This helped them challenge top Chinese players and win a World Championships bronze medal.

Their coaches believe the new skills could help them become one of the world’s top five pairs.
