[QF] Kidambi Srikanth (IND,13) vs (5) Chen Long (CHN,4)

Srikanth enters into the quarters and facing Long Chen ... He needed 3 games to beat Sourabh Verma in the second round.
Heartbreaking loss for Kashyap as after dominating the first game he had 3 match points against WR #2 Chou at 20-17 ... But somehow he missed all those and lost the game and then Chou rolled over him ... Prannoy failed to challenge Jonatan Christie in his loss.
A surprise loss of Sindhu against Busanan after 10 consecutive wins ... We can consider this as a bad loss.

Satwik and Ashwini lost in straight games against the 4th seed Japanese pair.
