Had tough matches for our players in the quarters ... Only Sai had a winnable match and he won it convincingly ... In the semis, he is facing the former WR #1 Long Chen ... Shubhanakar gave a decent fight to Long Chen in his loss ... The WR #2 Yufei Chen toyed Riya in one-sided win, but this was a much-needed experience for Riya to play against the top player ... Ashwini- Sikki, and Pranaav-Chirag lost in straight games against their fancied opponents ... In MXD, Arjun-Maneesha failed to build on their win and lost in straight games against similar ranked Danish pair.
