[QF] (3) Saina Nehwal (IND,1) vs Yu Sun (CHN,15)

Turn to be poor day for Indians as only Saina manages to win against Chinese opponent ... Saina beats Xue Yao comfortably to celebrate her official WR #1 ranking ... In quarter she is facing another Chinese test, this time top-15 Yu Sun.

Other hand our all men's players lose comfortably their respective matches against Chinese opponents ... Srikanth also fail to challenge young Tian.

Ashwini-Jwala start well after winning tight first game but then fail to keep momentum and lose last two games.
