New York, June 22: After years of struggle, Manu Attri and B. Sumeeth Reddy finally reached the summit clash of a badminton Grand Prix Gold event only to lose the men's doubles final of the US Open in straight games to Chinese pair of Junhui Li and Yuchen Liu here.
Though at World No. 26, the Indian pair was ranked higher than their opponents (No.29). The Chinese combine's skill, speed and agility proved far better as they won 21-12, 21-16 in just over half an hour to clinch the title at the Suffolk County Community College on Sunday.
