Another terrific performance from young Srikanth to qualify for the semis with win over higher ranked Hong Kong player Wei ... He lost the first game from 15-all losing 5 points in a row ... In the second game he started with 8-3 lead but Wei caught with him at 8-all ... Then Wei take 17-13 lead this time Srikanth caught with him at 18-all ... Srikanth won 3 points in a row from 18-19 to win this game ... In the final game Wei take early 3 points lead but Srikanth caught with him at 9-all ... Wei again take lead 14-11 lead again Srikanth caught with him at 15-all ... In this game also Srikanth won final 3 points from 18-19 to completed victory in 62 minutes.

Other hand Guru scored very comfortable win against similar ranked Chan in 34 minutes ... He didn't give any chance to Chan in both games.

Ashwini lost in women,s doubles and mixed doubles in contrasting matches .... Still creditable performance from her with new partners..
