Ashwini didi

Syed Modi India International: Young Indian shuttler Tanisha Crasto has revealed that she committed to ace shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa as her doubles partner as long as the 35-year-old continues to play badminton. Tanisha and Ashwini successfully defended their women's doubles title at the Guwahati Masters Super 100 badminton tournament last week, their second tournament together after the Paris Olympics. The women's duo also made it to the semifinals of the Syed Modi India International.

With her preference for mixed doubles, Tanisha is forming a solid partnership with Dhruv Kapila. The duo started playing together at the Syed Modi International at the end of last year and made the semifinal after a year at the same event.

Speaking to IANS about her plans for future tournaments, Tanisha said, "So, I'm just starting with mixed and not really keeping my expectations very high, as very recently Dhruv had a big tear in his ankle; he just made it before the Syed Modi, and thankfully, we've played well. I feel like he still needs a lot of rest, so I'm not thinking very far off.
