[SF] (1) Saina Nehwal (IND,6) vs (Q) Xuerui Li (CHN,145)

Saina streamed-roll over her top-20 Malaysian opponent, against whom she struggled in the past ... She scored very convincing win over to moved into the semis ... She will face unknown Chinese qualifier, that sounds tricky match.

Aditi couldn't continue her run against Chinese qualifier and our 3rd seed pair lost their match against unseeded Koreans after winning the first game.

Top seed Diju and Jwala also lost against Chinese opponents after winning first game ... Had a good chance of lifting title but again missed opportunity.
