Gayatri-Treesa Triumph: Doubles Duo Back in Rhythm

The dynamic doubles pair, Gayatri Gopichand and Treesa Jolly, have once again clinched the Syed Modi International title, signaling a triumphant return to form after a challenging period marred by injuries. Their recent victory in Lucknow has not only added silverware to their collection but also reignited the synergy and confidence crucial for their upcoming season.

Following a period of rehabilitation from a persistent shoulder issue that forced them off the circuit, Gayatri and Treesa's return has been strong. Gayatri expressed that the win felt like a reward for her patience and trust in the recovery process, boosting her belief that her game is progressing positively. Her father, Pullela Gopichand, provides invaluable support, sharing insights from his own injury experiences.

With a demanding 2026 season on the horizon, the duo is dedicating the next five weeks to intensive physical conditioning, focusing on building strength, agility, and endurance. Their ambitions are high: to regain their place among the world's elite women's doubles pairings, secure more world titles, and earn Olympic qualification. Treesa's recent success in mixed doubles, winning the Turkiye International Challenge, has also added a new dimension to her game, sharpening her net play and anticipation.
