Meanwhile it was all over for the Swiss Open champion HS Prannoy. The second seed was defeated by seventh seed Brice 22-20, 21-23, 18-21.
Both the women's singles shuttlers Ruthvika Shivani and Tanvi Lad too end their campaign after losing to Linda 16-21, 12-21 and Iris Wang 16-21, 21-15, 10-21.
Women's doubles shuttlers Jwala Gutta/Ashwini Ponnappa gave their opponent a walkover. The defending champions therefore failed to defend their title.
Mixed doubles pair Manu Attri/Ashwini Ponnappa too gave their opponents a walkover. On the other hand, men's doubles pair of Manu Attri/Buss Sumeeth Reddy got a walkover and therefore qualify for the semis to face Andrei Adistia/Dong Adam.
