Let's dive into the highlights of today's semi-final clashes.

Not a great day for France
Thom Gicquel/Delphine Delrue of France faced a tough challenge against the Chinese pair Xin Cheng/Chi Zhang. Despite a strong start with a convincing win in the first game, Gicquel and Delrue found themselves locked in a tight battle in the subsequent games. In the end, the French duo lost their match. In a post-match interview they stated that they are disappointed with their performance on court today and that they gave their opponents a lot of easy points.

Christo Popov/ Toma Junior Popov fell short in their semi-final match against a Malaysian pair Junaidi Arif/Roy King Yap. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to overcome their opponents' dominance, bowing out of the tournament in straight games 17-21, 17-21.

Danes William Kryger Boe/Christian Faust Kjær did not advance to the final, losing 15-21, 21-16, 15-21 to Indonesian duo Sabar Karyaman Gutama/Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani.

Last man standing
Toma Junior Popov managed to secure a crucial victory in men’s singles. Facing off against the third seeded player from Chinese Taipei, Chou Tien Chen, Popov displayed his resilience and skill to emerge victorious. With a title win three years ago under his belt, can Popov reclaim the championship once again? 

Let’s find out tomorrow. Popov will face Loh Kean Yew in the final match for glory. The matches start at 10:00 and you don’t want to miss them!
