Only 4 Indian players are playing in this event this week.

These are the results of first round -

[R1] Sameer VERMA (IND,141) d. Kuo PO CHENG (TPE,151) 20-22 21-13 21-13
[R1] (3) K. Srikanth (IND,3) d. Tzu Wei WANG (TPE,47) 21-17 21-15
[R1] R. M. V. Gurusaidutt (IND,45) l. Shesar Hiren RHUSTAVITO (INA,243) 21-23 17-21

[R1] P. V. Sindhu (IND,14) d. Lindaweni FANETRI (INA,30) 21-19 21-19

Bad loss for Guru who seems so inconsistent. Shrikanth and Sindhu had good wins over tricky opponents.

Next,

[R2] Sameer VERMA (IND,141) vs. (1) CHEN Long (CHN,1)
[R2] (3) K. Srikanth (IND,3) vs. Ihsan Maulana MUSTOFA (INA,78)

[R2] P. V. Sindhu (IND,14) vs. (3) TAI Tzu Ying (TPE,5)

Very tough matches for Sameer Verma and Sindhu.

All 3 lost in the second round.

[R2] Sameer VERMA (IND,141) l. (1) CHEN Long (CHN,1) 19-21 16-21
[R2] (3) K. Srikanth (IND,3) l. Ihsan Maulana MUSTOFA (INA,78) 19-21 18-21

[R2] P. V. Sindhu (IND,14) l. (3) TAI Tzu Ying (TPE,5) 15-21 17-21

Quite disappointing especially from Srikanth and quick end to the thread.
