Gopichand stars in win over Austria
Pulela Gopichand turned in a sterling performance as India got the better of Austria 4-1 in a Group III A encounter of the Sudirman Cup Badminton Championships at Copenhagen yesterday.
A while earlier, India's women's champion Aparna Popat had got the better of Tina Riedl 11-3, 11-5. Kanwar and PVV Laxmi completed the rout with a 15-4, 15-7 victory over Serova and Riedl. India meet England next. Meanwhile, the sport's giants China and Denmark kept on course on for a final showdown. Both countries won their final group matches to maintain their 100 per cent records in the elite group of the 51-nation tournament. But victories were in constrasting fashion, with Denmark thrashing Sweden 5-0, and China edging past Indonesia 3-2. The result meant that China would face South Korea, while Denmark meet inaugural champions Indonesia in the semi-finals on Friday.
