A day with many upsets, at the end of the season, have the ranked players been slacking off?

And here's one of the first matches and upset of the day...

Jing Yi Tee of Malaysia vs...

Wang Yihan of China.



A let down!

TJY didn't know how to celebrate such a big win...

that she wondered out loud what fortune had just struck her!!!

Here's another upset with Liu Xin over first ranked Wang Shixian.

And the giant(s) killer, Nozomi Okuhara, overcame India's P. V. Sindhu in a well fought 3 setters. She was the 2012 WS Champion of the Canada Open at the age of 16. And she was madbad's favourite Japanese player at the time!





























With her signature bow at intervals and at the end.

My favourite pair of Japanese MD players, Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda, so fun to watch their animating plays, they don't hide their emotions for sure!

Pretty eventful quarter finals


Tee Jing Yee looks to have some sort of muscle strain





Viktor is trying his best but his opponent is in control.



New combination from Indonesia in the mixed producing a creditable preformance.



Xu Chen does a sit down protest at a line call. Has he been watching HK politics?



Japan's pocket rocket. This girl is the real deal.



Srikanth in control - this time, his net kills go over the net and not into the net.



And some more...

Quarter finals day started with Tai Tzu Ying playing really well against Saina Nehwal.

 

[jyeung]

And Zhao Yunlei and Zhang Nan dispatched compatriots Bao Yixin in straight two sets.

 

[jyeung]

And Lee Yong Dae with partner Lee So Hee lost to the Adcock couple.

 

[jyeung]

And the Mads beat the Novs(Mads Conrad-Petersen and Mads Pieler Kolding of Denmark against Vladimir Ivanov and Ivan Sozonov of Russia).

 

[jyeung]

Indonesia's 7th ranked Nitya Krishinda Maheswari and Greysia Polii took 72 minutes to overcome the traditional defensive styled 3rd ranked Japan's Reika Kakiiwa and Miyuki Maeda. And it seemed Polii's had single handedly willed the win away. She was so pumped, yelling at every smash, and jumping like a man at times!!!
