The victory avenged the semifinal loss of A. Sharath Kamal and Sreeja Akula at the hands of the same Singaporean pair. Peng had also stunned Sharth Kamal in men’s singles quarterfinal.

The Indian pair was on top in the final as they piled on the agony of their rivals, particularly on a tired Peng who could not cope with the pressure applied by the top-seeded duo who simply decimated them.

But second-seed Sharath Kamal squandered three match points and then the quarterfinal match, shattering his men’s singles medal hope. Though Sharath failed to go past the semifinal in mixed doubles, he would definitely rue the singles loss to the younger legs of Peng which played a major role in the left-hander snatching victory from the jaws of defeat as he not only survived 1-3 deficits but also seized the advantage in the decider to enter the semifinal.

The other Indians who made the semifinal included top seed G. Sathiyan, who beat Nigerian Bode Abiodun 4-0, and Harmeet Desai who accounted for fellow Indian Sushmit Sriram 4-1. Sanil Shetty joined Sharath when he went down to England’s Thomas Jarvis 1-4.

Earlier, top seed Ho Tin-Tin of England disposed of unseeded Archana Kamath, the reigning national champion, 4-1 to enter the women’s singles semifinal. But second seed Madhurika Patkar and fourth seed Ayhika Mukerjee easily followed the English woman in the last-four stage while in a marathon battle, Sreeja Akula defeated Sutirtha Mukherjee 4-2 even as Madhurika downed Krittiwika Sinha Roy 4-1 and Ayhika beat Mousumi Paul in straight games.

Archana, who played well until this point, was unable to find her feet against the attacking Ho who cashed in on several unforced errors committed by the Indian. After losing the first game, the Bengaluru girl came back to level the score 1-1 but lost her rhythm from there to go down tamely.

Madhurika had a good measure of Krittwika, the national runner-up, and despite losing a game she punished her rival when the opportunities presented themselves. Indeed, Krittiwika had a slight advantage in the fourth game but lost it 10-12 and then the steam.

However, for Ayhika it was rather easy as Mousumi could not cope with her rival’s quick returns and excellent placements.

Two extended games must have sapped the energy of both Sreeja and Sutirtha but the former held her nerves despite squandering five match points to romp home.

The scratch pair of Sharath Kamal and Sreeja Akula, in the absence of Manika Batra, had little problem up to the semifinals. But once there, the mismatch became more palpable when the Indian duo took on Singapore’s Peng Yu En Koen and Goi Rui Xuan, who play together more regularly.

More often than not, Sharath had to plug the gaps that became a yawn as the match progress and the Singaporeans made most of the situation. Despite losing the first game, the Indian duo came back strongly to take the next two and lead 2-1. But the Indians lost their way with Pang and Goi combining well to level the score and then complete the decider in double quick time with the Indian duo managing just four points.

In contrast, Sathiyan and Archana hardly dropped a sweat when they beat the other Indian pair of Harmeet Desai and Ayhika Mukherjee 3-0. In fact, the first two games got over in less than 10 minutes. Though Harmeet and Ayhika resisted a bit longer in the third, but they could not stop Sathiyan and Archana from progressing into the final.

In men’s doubles, two Indian pairs — Sharath and Sathiyan and Anthony Amalraj and Manav Thakkar — made it to the semifinals where they will be challenged by Pang Yu En and Chua Shao Han from Singapore and the English duo of Samuel Walker and Thomas Jarvis, respectively, on Monday.

In women’s doubles, Pooja Sahasrabudhe and Krittiwika Singha Roy, Sreeja Akula and Mousumi Paul and Sutirtha Mukherjee and Ayhika Mukherjee entered the semifinals while the fourth pair, top seed Madhurika Patkar and Archana Kamath went down to Singapore’s Goi Rui Xuan and Won Xin Ru 2-3 (5-11, 8-11, 11-8, 11-7, 9-11).
