Seville, June 4 :    Seville, June 4:  India No. 2 Manjusha Kanwar fought brilliantly to storm into the main draw of the world badminton championships here tonight. Manjusha outplayed Li Li of Singapore in a three-game tussle lasting 54 minutes. The Indian, trailing 2-9 in the first, fought back to draw level at 9-9 but conceded some negative points after that and lost the game. In the second and third games, Manjusha adapted an intelligent strategy and hardly allowed Li any freedom on the forehand. Things became easier for her after that. 'This has been one of my best performances in recent times. I am happy with my form,' said an elated Manjusha after the match. However, there was disappointment for India in the men's section as both singles entries in qualifiers lost in the final round. Siddhartha Jain lost 5-15, 4-15 to Shimogami of Japan, while Chetan Anand bowed out after a spirited performance. Chetan was up against Thailand's Polsana Boonsak, who had defeated Chen Hong of China and Taufique Hidayat of Indonesia in the Asia Cup in Singapore last month. Chetan started in great style to race to a 12-6 lead but made a number of rash errors to lose the game. In the second game he fought back from 5-12, hitting some delightful down-the-line winners to win the game 15-13. However, despite taking a 5-2 lead in the decider Chetan failed to capitalise and lost 5-15. Hyderabad girls Jwala Gutta and Shruti Kurien, the national senior and junior champions, had another great outing in the ladies' doubles qualifying event. Though Jwala failed to qualify in singles, she is the fulcrum around which this doubles team is built. The two teenagers comfortably beat Canadians Charmeine Reed and Jody Patrick 15-10, 15-2 in the second round. Shruti was a perfect foil for Jwala, providing the correct openings to her hard-hitting partner who provided the firepower needed to subdue the experienced Canadian pair. Jwala muffed a 6-3 lead in the decider to lose 4-11, 11-8, 7-11 to 20-year-old Estonian Kari Tolmhoff. B.E. Meenakshi ran into Canadian Kara Solmundson who proved to be a better fighter and swifter mover on court. Meenakshi overcame a 3-9 deficit in the first game to equalise at 10-10, only to lose it 11-13. Kara was far too positive in the second game and won easily 11-1. In ladies' doubles, Madhumita Bisht and P.V.V. Lakshmi were thrashed 3-15, 5-15 by Chinese Taipei pair Pei Tang Ku and Chia Chi Chu. The Indians were far too slow and looked disoriented. There were some good results in mixed doubles with two pairs advancing. V. Diju and Lakshmi, especially, played some fine badminton to oust Canadians Mike Beres and Kris Solmundson 17-15, 17-16 in 45 minutes of pulsating action. Jaseel Ismail and Madhumita produced magic on the ajacent court to overcome Finland's Nina Sarnesto and Alexander Book 15-13, 15-7.
