Indian women's doubles pair Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand have secured a spot in the BWF World Tour Finals 2024 despite an early exit in the second round of the China Masters. Their consistent performances, including semifinal finishes at the Singapore Open and Macau Open, earned them a spot among the top eight ranking pairs. Despite losing in the China Masters pre-quarterfinals, the pair's bronze medal at the Commonwealth Games showcases their potential.
So far, PV Sindhu is the only Indian player to win the prestigious BWF World Tour Finals in 2018. Securing a spot, Treesa says, "I think it is a blissful feeling to participate in such a prestigious tournament. We have watched all the top players compete in this event on TV, so actually to be one to qualify and participate is incredible. We feel so lucky and happy to have been selected for Hangzhou." She adds, "It is not a knockout tournament; it has a group stage, and we will look to give our best against the top players."
The 2024 BWF World Tour Finals will take place in Hangzhou, China, from December 11, 2024, to December 15, 2024, at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Centre Gymnasium. The tournament, which features the top eight players in each category, will award a total prize of USD 2,500,000. The event includes men's, women's, men's, women's, and mixed doubles, who will compete in a round-robin format in two groups.
