Indian women lost against Japanese women in Uber Cup 3rd position match, with that they lost opportunity of getting direct entry into Uber Cup Finals ... But as I mentioned earlier they will qualify for Uber Cup Finals as best 4th finished team from Asia and Europe.

Indian women won 2 singles by Saina and Trupti but Japanese doubles pair were very strong to Indians pair and that was difference for final outcome of this match.
