Ashwini and Pradnya Gadre lost against Thai pair in the second round ... Decent performance by Pranaav and Siki in MXD against WR #1 Chinese pair ... Pranaav and Akshay gave tremendous fighting performance against WR #2 Chinese pair before melt-down in the third ... In the first game they missed 2 game points against Chinese pair at 20-19 and 21-20 if they converted that then result could be different.

In the singles we had terrible days as our all players lost against their respective opponents ... Kashyap retired against Sugiarto in the first game ... In both games Ajay matched his game with Lee but in the end Lee played crucial points better than Ajay ... Saina agains failed to overcome challenge of Wang, this time Lin Wang ... After little resistant in the first game Lin won the second game comfortably.
