8th seed Srikanth too had a difficult task in the pre-quarters as it was a three-game victory 21-13, 8-21, 21-18 against Korean Jeon Hyeok Jin. He next faces second seed Viktor Axelsen.

In the women's singles, Saina Nehwal trumped Nitchaon Jindaol 22-20, 21-13 to set up a clash against 4th seed Akane Yamaguchi.

 

Good win against Nitchaon Jindapol from Thailand in the pre - quarters 22-20 ... 21-13 (Denmark super series 2017 ) ...👍
