Seeds fall

Meanwhile, it was a bad day for the European seeds in the mixed doubles. It was heart-breaking defeats all-round for English pairs Marcus Ellis and Lauren Smith, Chris and Gabrielle Adcock as well as Germany’s Marvin Emil Seidel and Linda Efler.

Also going out in the mixed doubles, were Germany’s Mark Lamsfuss and Isabel Herttrich, who fell in three-sets to Indonesia’s Rinov Rivaldy and Pitha Haningtyas Mentari 13-21, 21-14, 21-15.

The narrow defeats kept on coming in the women’s singles, as Spain’s Beatriz Corrales could not quite get past Chinese Taipei’s Chen Su Yu 20-22, 21-12, 22-20.

Sadly for England’s Chloe Birch, it was a quicker afternoon in her 21-13, 21-16 to second seed Thai player Nitchaon Jindapol.
