What a day for the juniors yesterday!
Upsets, shocking defeats for even what the organisers considered the best, those seeded #1!
Notable among these were He Bingjiao #1 (CHN), Firman Abdul Kholik #1 (INA), Lin Guipu #4 (CHN), Ben Lane/Jessica Pugh #3 (DEN) and Marsheilla/Rahmadhani #5 (INA).
The Japanese youngsters were the most impressive as all of them advanced to the SF today.
And Malaysia's two ladies also made it to the Semis. And 15 year-old Siril Verma also became a MS semi-finalist.
Our very own LKY #13 was eliminated by unseeded Koki (JPN), a name to watch.
Congratulations to all winners!
