Today it was just half of her strong-mindedness, not enough to beat perfectly playing Trupi.

In Mixed doubles easily won Indra Viki Okvana and Gustiani Megawati from Indonesia over the pair from Denmark, Mads Conrad-Petersen, Anne Skelbaek 21:11, 21:13.

Very nice and dramatic match was Xi Zhang from China against Jeanine Cigognini from Switzerland. The Favorite was definately Xi Zhang but everybody in the tournament hall cheer for Jeanine and she finnaly won in three sets battle.

Mixed doubles pair Indra Viki Okanava/Gustiani Megawati got to finals after battles with Danish and Austrian pairs, having a little bit of trouble only in the beginning of the first match.
