Can the Indian women’s doubles pair of Treesa and Gayatri cause a major upset in the BWF Worlds semis today?
Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand take on China’s top-seeded world No. 1 pair, Liu Sheng Shu and Tan Ning, in the women’s doubles semifinal of the BWF World Championships 2026 at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi on Saturday, August 22.
The unseeded Indian pair, ranked 39th, is already assured of a medal — its first at the World Championships since Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa’s 2011 bronze — after a stunning three-game comeback win over fourth-seeded Chinese pair Jia Yi Fan and Zhang Shu Xian in the quarterfinals.
Head-to-head: Treesa-Gayatri trail Liu-Tan 1-6 in their career meetings, having lost at the BWF World Tour Finals 2024 and the All England Championships 2025, among others. The Chinese duo, Paris 2024 Olympic silver medallists, will enter as facourites, though Treesa and Gayatri pushed them close at the Swiss Open last year before falling in three games.
Where to watch: The match will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network (Star Sports 1, Star Sports Select 1, Star Sports Select 1 HD) and streamed on JioHotstar for viewers in India. Fans outside India can follow the action via the BWF TV YouTube channel.
The semifinals and final are being played across August 21-23, with the women’s doubles title clash on Sunday.
