Really creditable upset win by Neha over Malaysian player .. As expected interesting match between Ajay and Sourabh ... Kashyap also entered into the second round.

Terrific start for Sindhu, who take early 11-5 lead and then from 12-13 she take 17-13 lead which was enough to won the first game ... In the second game both players were exchanging lead till the end ... Sindhu won last 3 points from 18-19 and scripted big win.

Tarun Kona and Ashwini Ponnappa scored excellent fighting win over Indonesian pair in well fought match.

Very dominating win by Sania against Pui Yin Yip but sad to see Guru again missed opportunity to win some matches in this Indian super series.

After this loss against unseeded Chinese pair Jwala and Diju will need wild-card for Olympics.
