India's star doubles shuttler Ashwini Ponnappa, 29, says her popularity after becoming Jwala Gutta's partner has prepared her to play a more mature role in her partnership with N Sikki Reddy, 25.
"Sikki and I are more on par as she too has had a few international achievements before I started to partner her. When I partnered Jwala, she was already an established player, who was well known for her achievements with her previous partners. I had no international experience when I started playing with her. The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold with Jwala got me recognition. On court, I think I have grown and I'm more mature now as a partner," the Red Bull athlete, who recently lost to top-seeded Indonesian pair of Greysia Polii and Apriyani Rahayu 10-21, 18-21 in the quarter-finals of the India Open, told mid-day yesterday.
