Malaysia, Dec 5: India's mixed doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and V Diju cruised into the finals with a straight-game win over Robert Mateusiak and Nadiezda Kostiuczy of Poland in the World Super Series Masters Final on Saturday.

Jwala-Diju, who won the Chinese Taipei Grand Prix Gold in August this year, defeated the Polish duo 21-19, 21-11 in a 30-minute battle.

Jwala-Diju opened up a 2-0 lead but Mateusiak and Kostiuczy clawed back at 4-4 and then 19-19. However, the Indian duo kept the pressure on and eventually pocketed the first game.

In the next game, the Indians were at their aggressive best and surged to a 7-0 lead as Robert-Nadiezda's game crumbled.

The Jwala-Diju pair has been creating waves on the international scene ever since their comeback in early 2008. They have put up some brilliant performances, which included winning the Bitburger Open and Bulgarian Open last year.

The duo had also reached the final of the Indian Open Grand Prix Gold in March besides making the quarter-finals of the World Badminton Championship in Hyderabad in August.
