Women's Quarter Final

Ashwini Ponappa / Sikki Reddy l Greysia Polii / Apriyani Rahayu 5-21 16-21

Sanyogita Ghorpade / Pusarla V. Sindhu l Anggia Shitta Awanda / Ni Ketut Mahadewi Istarani 9-21 18-21

Again only Sindhu managed to win her match ... Otherwise higher-ranked Indonesian team proved too strong for our players.

Indian men also lost in the quarters against Chinese men ... Srikanth started with a comeback win over Yuqi Shi ... Satwik-Chirag failed to overcome Chinese lower ranked pair ... Sai started with a winning the first game but he failed to keep this momentum in next two games against Bin Qiao ... Manu-Sumeeth also started with a winning the first game but they also lost next two games for losing the match and tie.
