Looks like one sided match between two youngsters, Porntip vs Tai TY at second game, Porntip leads 17-6.
Up next on Court 4, Chan Yan Kit [15] vs. Poodchalat Pisit. The HKG player is ranked 49th in the world, while the Thai player is ranked 157th. However, Pisit has already beaten Hong Kong's Wong Wing Ki, ranked 33rd, in the course of this tournament.
Bad news for MAS, as Hiroyuki Endo and Kenichi Hayakawa [5] def. Gan Teik Chai/Tan Bin Shen [3] 21-11, 21-12 (34 minutes).
Up next on Court 1, Shinta Mulia Sari/Yao Lei [3] vs. Poon Lok Yan/Tse Ying Suet. The Singaporeans are ranked 9th in the world, while the HKG pair is ranked 41st.
Good news for INA, as Alvent Yulianto Chandra and Hendra Aprida Gunawan [2] def. Chen Chung Jen/Lin Yen Jui [8] 21-16, 21-15
Haha, TTY made Porntip work hard for her win. At one stage it looked like Porntip would sail through but TTY made her earn every point before succumbing 21-16. 2 Thais in the WS SF
Up next on Court 2, Liu Xin [1] vs. Sayaka Sato [8]. The Chinese player is ranked 6th in the world, while the Japanese is ranked 25th. Liu has beaten Sato once before, at the 2010 Asia Badminton Championships (19-21, 21-7, 21-11).
Up next on Court 3, Sudket Prapakamol/Saralee Thoungthongkam [1] vs. Nova Widianto/Vita Marissa [6]. The Thai pair is ranked 2nd in the world, while the Indonesians are ranked 72nd. The head to head record is 2-0 in favor of the INA pair, but it is a bit outdated, with the last victory recorded at the 2004 Malaysia Open (15-12, 15-7).
