Indian Juniors gave their best to take opportunity of reaching final of WOrld Junior Championship ... Saina Nehwal and Gurusaidutt managed to win their singles matches but our all doubles pair lost against solid South Korean combination.

Very creditable performance by our juniors of reaching World Championship semis ... Our juniors r good in singles but our coaches need to improve our doubles game if we aim for better performance in mixed team event.
