Only Srikanth and Sindhu managed to enter into the second round in the singles ... But some close losses for our other players ... Sameer lost in 3 games against the WR #2 Yuqi Shi ... In the first game, Sameer saved a couple of game points before losing it ... In the second game, he fought till end and Sameer saved 4 match points before winning it, but in the third game, he was tired and failed to challenge Yuqi ... Prannoy lost after winning the first game ... Saina also lost against her Thai opponent after winning the first game ... She was making a comeback after her illness, so she wasn't fully match-fit.

In MXD, Sikki and Pranaav scored a tight straight games win over Magees ... But Sikki with Ashwini lost a close match against the Korean pair ... After losing the first game Sikki and Ashwini won the second game and had 4 match points in the third at 20-16 ... They lost the next 6 points to lose the match ... Other hands, a one-sided loss for Manu and Sumeeth against the WR #6 Chinese pair.
