md. Ahsan and Setiawan lost to Anders and Kim in semis. Danish also did well against Tpe pair. Teo and Ong was a dissappointment. Man and  Tee did well to enter final but lost to the Danish pair. Too experienced.

ms. Lzj continued with his fine form beating Chico in early rounds. Also beat Leong JH who was injured. He also managed to beat Antonsen in semis who was also injured. A little bit of luck is with him. Antonsen had a tough 3 setters vs Koki. Ng Tze Yong did well to brush the seeded CTC in 2 games. He also beat china Lu in 2 games to enter semis.
