A couple of riveting encounters in the WTT Feeder Vadodara 2026 witnessed a mix of Indian and Korean supremacy as one of each country progressed to the Women's Doubles final on Saturday (January 10).
Ayhika
Mukherjee and Sutirtha Mukherjee blanked Lee Zi On and Park Ga Hyeon, whereas Jennifer Varghese and Selena Selvakumar secured a victory over the Korean pair Ryu Hanna and Yoo Yerin.
Mukherjee duo find easy
It was an easy victory for the Mukherjee girs against the Korean pair. Despite a stuttering start in the first set, Ayhika started the revival with some decent serves, while Sutirtha complemented back with some excellent smashes and returns. The Korean paddlers lost the first set and then the Indian duo pounced on the second set as well.
With a 2-0 set lead, they went for the kill as Sutirtha's robust returns, along with Ayhika's clever play, were too much for the Lee and Park. They sealed the final set 11-9 to secure a straight set victory.

Jennifer and Selena were excellent from the start. They complemented each other to withstand long rallies and won the first set 11-8. The second set was even easier for the Indian duo, who broke a little sweat to win it 11-5. Ryu and Yoo came back with a win in the third set, and then won the fourth set as well.
Varghese, who has been playing with an injured knee, made a couple of mistakes while Selena also faltered. In the final set, a see-saw battle ended up in the Korean pair's favour who won it 11-7 to win the match and qualify for the final.
