Indian women’s doubles pair of Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa on Sunday secured their second Super 100 title with a straight-game win over Chinese Taipei’s Sung Shuo Yun and Yu Chien Hui at the Guwahati Masters here.

This was the third title for the Indian pair, who had clinched the Abu Dhabi Masters Super 100 and Nantes International Challenge this year.

“I am happy with how we played. Very grateful to reach the final and win. We looked after our body and executed our plans. Focus and determination last two weeks have been great,” said Ashwini after the match.

“Both of us are explosive [players] and she is good at the nets and I am known for my smashes from the back court. So, I think, we are complementing each other. We rotate well.” 
Ashwini added that errors crept in after the change of sides, but she and Tanisha kept their cool to finally win a close contest.
