Jwala Gutta and Diju Valiyaveetil’s dreams of winning their first Grand Prix gold title went up in smokes as the Indian mixed doubles pair suffered a straight game defeat against Flandy Limpele and Vita Marissa of Indonesia in Yonex Sunrise Indian Open final in Hyderabad on Sunday.

The error-prone second seeded Indian pair lost 14-21 17-21 to the third seeded Indonesians.

In the men’s singles, second seeded Indonesian Taufik Hidayat thumped Malaysia’s Muhammad Hafiz Hashim 21-18 21-19 to clinch his first title of the year.

Women’s singles top seed Hongyan Pi ended her three year title drought after piping Julia Pei Xian Wong 17-21 21-15 21-14 in a 54-minute battle.

Top seeded Tan Fook Choong and Wan Wah Lee of Malaysia took the men’s doubles title after crushing Singaporean pair of Hendri Kurniawan Saputra and Hendra Wijaya 21-9 21-11 while in women’s doubles final Jin Ma and Xiaoli Wang of China outplayed Vita Marissa and Nadya Melati 21-14 21-13.

Playing in front of a boisterous home crowd, Jwala and Diju committed too many unforced errors and committed judgmental mistakes and had their backs to the wall right from the start.
