3.Ashwini Ponnappa shows very good skills
The doubles scene in India for some time has revolved around the combination of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa, who have been playing together sine 2010 and have tasted success at various events.
Ever since they started playing together, it has been Jwala who has mostly used the front court and early on, it was a bit hard for Ashwini to make full use of the rear court.
However, one observed a positive change in the Uber Cup where we saw Ashwini play extremely well on the backcourt with some clear movements and very good line judgement, particularly in the quarterfinal against Thailand.
This certainly does augur well since it would mean both players could play in their favoured positions at Rio 2016, thereby improving the coordination as well.
