Good to see that Aditi take advantage of weak opponent to score her first victory in Super Series tournament ... Saina also gave strong performance against top-15 player to won in 2 games.

Ananad Pawar gave excellent fighting performance against Indonasian WR #4 Sony Dwi Kuncoro ... After losing first game he cameback strongly to won second game .. In third game also he was in control until 17-13 but then Sony used his experience to won match in 53 minutes ... Arvind Bhat had a chance against Hsieh ... In first game he was in control from the start but Hsieh produced comeback in the match from down 19-12 to won this game ... Then Hsieh didn't give much chance in second game to win match in 30 minutes ... Again same old story as Chetan take early lead in first game and maintained lead until 17-14 but after that Persson pocketed first game winning crucial points and take second game controlling from the start ... He defeated Chetan in 28 minutes.
