[F] (3) PV Sindhu (IND,12) vs Kirsty Gilmour (SCO,20)

Sindhu scores really good win over top-10 Korean in 70 minutes ... In the first game from 9-11 Sindhu opened 17-11 lead ... After that Sung tried to catch Sindhu but she kept her lead for winning this game ... In the second game Sung took early lead 7-2 which Sindhu reduced to one point, 10-11 ... Sung again opened big lead winning next 7 points, 10-18 and kept that advantage for taking match into the decider ... In the final game Sindhu opened 10-3 lead and kept that increasing for winning this match ... In the final she is facing Scottish girl Kirsty Gilmour, in one of their meeting in 2013 Sindhu lost against her in three games.

Very disappointing loss of Srikanth against lowly ranked local player Zainuddin ... In closely fought first game Srikanth missed 2 game points at 20-19 and 21-20 ... After that he saved 3 game points before missing his third game point at 25-24 ... Zainuddin converted 4th game point for winning this game ... In the second game from start Zainuddin didn't give much chance to Srikanth for winning it comfortably.
