The Indian women’s doubles pair of Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand progressed to the quarterfinals of the Swiss Open with a straight-game win over compatriots Priya Konjengbam and Shruti Mishra here today.

The eighth-seeded pair hardly broke a sweat as they brushed aside Priya and Shruti 21-10 21-12 in 36 minutes. The world No. 26 pair, which is 14th in the Olympics qualification rankings, will face Australia’s Setyana Mapasa and Angela Yu now.

World No. 20 Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa, who are 12th in the Paris race, lost 17-21 16-21 to Japan’s world No. 30 Rui Hirokami and Yuna Kato.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
