Chinese Pair Dominate India 21-11, 21-11 in New Delhi

The BWF World Championships witnessed a decisive victory for China's Chen Fang and Guo Xinwa over India's 15th‑seeded mixed doubles duo of Dhruv Kapila and Tanisha Crasto. The match, held in New Delhi’s indoor arena, concluded with straight‑set scores of 21-11, 21-11.

Indian officials noted that after an initial phase where both sides exchanged points closely, the Chinese side seized momentum and the Indians failed to recover lost points. Crasto described the collapse as a series of minor mistakes that accumulated, breaking the pair’s rhythm.

Kapila accepted responsibility for the loss, pointing out that his execution faltered and that the game plan could not withstand the pressure created by the Chinese pair’s aggressive play.
