great discovery! I'm gonna follow Olga - hope she can grab another title, but what I really hope is that they let her play the big tournaments - also in Asia!

.
I think Minatsu Mitani[Q] can move into the Semi-Finals now, after defeating Olga Konon[4] 23-25, 21-18, 21-11 in 61 minutes.

Don't think Lianne Tan is as fit as MM (both having played a 3-games match each)
