All TPE MD Final: Liang Jui Wei/Liao Kuan Hao (#4) beat Lia Chun Chieh/Lin Yen Jui The all TPE MD was a display of speed and power which Liang and Liao won convincingly 21-11, 21-15.
MS Final: Thammasin Sitthikom (THA #15) beat Ashton Chen (SIN #1) 22-20, 8-21, 21-8 This last match of the afternoon provided the most excitment that ended in just over an hour. In fact the match was decided in the very first game as the remaining games were of reverse identical scores. Both players sought to set up for an eventual attack and at the end of the day the younger and faster Thammasin seemed to carry a more powerful smash. We shall see more of this young Thai in the near future. He also eliminated the more experienced Indian, Anup Sridhar (#4) in straight games in the SF.
