In very tight match Gurusaidutt defeated 2nd seed Korean to enter into World Juniors semis ... He pulled off this upset win in 53 mins ... Third game was roller-coaster where both were going neck to neck until final point.

Saina scored very easy victory in quarter-final ... I think her first test of this championship will be against Chinese opponent in semis ... So tomorrow our both players facing Chinese opponent and I m counting wins from them.
