On the other hand, Sook Chin and Yin Loo started their campaign in perfect manner and cruised to victory with distinction.

of 13 points in final total of 21-8.
Mingtian and Aiying, who are placed at second spot in tournament ranking, switched on their best after going one down.
This time they changed the tactics and enthralled their competitors with a fine blend of power packed smashes and drop net shots.
In the first half, the Singaporean shuttlers mounted pressure with a decent total of 11 before the interval.
They capitalised this initial advantage in later part of the game and placed a winning margin of 21-16.
This revised match score position made third set consequential as both contenders were equal with one win each.
They remained close until the first half and made the crowd gasp with their breath-taking performance but the later part of the game proved completely one-sided affair.
The twosome of Mingtian Fu and Aiying Xing sealed a splendid victory by registering an overwhelming figure of 21-11.
