The highest seeded player in MS department, Jan O Jorgensen smashed Sony Dwi Kuncoro in second game after troubled by current SIN Superseries winner in opening game. The Danish favourite will take on another tough test in next round, the vast experienced Lee Hyun Il. Local hopeful Son Wan Ho dumped Chinese promising star Shi Yuqi in two quick sets and is favoured to progress into last eight. It's mixed fortune for Indian squad, 8th seed Srikanth is back to flop performance, thwarted by Vincent Wong while Prannoy and Kashyap also coudn't clear first hurdle, lost to TPE youngster Wang Tzu Wei and 4th seed Tian Houwei, leaving Praneeth and last year beaten finalist Ajay Jayaram in last sixteen. Two Chinese back-ups passed round one, Huang YX knocked out Lee DK while Qiao Bin has learned his previous losings to beat more favoured Chou Tien Chen this time
Sung Ji Hyun leads Korean ladies to manage good run at home soil so far in the absence of top stars, the stunning result was created by Lee Jang Mi who sent packing Sun Yu, a runner-up of JPN Open last Sunday. Sung is expected to meet Tai Tzu Ying if the Taiwanese talent eliminates local underdog Kim Na Young. Bottom half of draw offers more appealing plot, He Bingjiao has tough rival, Minatsu Mitani, all Japan affairs will pit Sayaka Sato against Akane Yamaguchi and Ratchanok Intanon gets Chinese opponent Chen Yufei.
Home star Lee YD/Yoo YS will start their campaign tomorrow against Chinese new combo, Liu XL/Lu K. A shaky performance by second seed Chai/Hong to drop first game before won over Astrup/Rasmussen, another challenging opponent wait them next, Inoue/Kaneko. In WD discipline, Vivian Hoo/Woon KW were shocked by home unranked pair Go AR/Kim HI at first round.
