The young men’s doubles pair of Ishaan Bhatnagar and Sai Pratheek progressed to the second round with a straight-game win on a disappointing day for Indian shuttlers at the Thailand Open Super 300 here today.

Bhatnagar and Pratheek ousted USA’s Vinson Chiu and Joshua Yuan 21-18 21-12 in the opening round.

PS Ravikrishna and Sankar Prasad Udayakumar fought before going down 21-16 18-21 10-21 to Chinese Taipei’s Lee Jhe-Huei and Yang Po-Hsuan.

Commonwealth Games champions Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand, seeded third, lost 9-21 10-21 to Japan’s Rena Miyaura and Ayako Sakuramoto. Tanisha Crasto and Ashwini Ponnappa lost 15-21 18-21 to China’s Tan Ning and Xia Yu Ting.

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).
