Completing the carnage of the top seeds was Imawan Gebby Ristiyani-Nuraidah Tiara Rosalia of Indonesia, who defeated fourth seeds Sandra Marinello-Birgit Michels of Germany 23-21, 21-15.


There was more bad news for the home fans in the men's doubles as they won't have a representative in the quarter-finals after Patipat Chalardchaleam-Maneepong Jongjit were beaten 22-20, 21-19 by South Korean's Kim Ki Jung-Shin Baek Cheol, who in turned, were eliminated by Goh Wei Shem-Lim Khim.
