Indians girls end their Uber cup with Bronze medal ... In the semis Chian scores dominating victory over Indian girls after winning first 3 matches ... I was expecting little closer tie and expected at least one of from Saina and Sindhu could scored upset ... In first match Saina stretched Xuerui to three games in her loss ... After winning the first game easily Shixian managed to overcome Sindhu's challenge in second game despite it went to extra points ... Chinese pair proved too strong for Jwala-Sikki ... Overall encouraging to see Ruthvika's performance in this tournament.
