Another really good fighting win by Saina against experienced Sato ... these back to back three games win r showing Saina's comeback in on right track ... Sameer also showed good fighting spirit in his comeback win over Japanese Kazumasa Sakai ... Sindhi scored comfortable straight games win over her Taipei opponent Hsu ... Ajay scored good tight straight games win over similar ranked Chinese Yuxiang Huang for entering into quarters ... But somewhat disappointed by Prannoy's loss against lower ranked Malaysian after winning the first game.
