The women's event will see an interesting all-Chinese clash between Tokyo 2020 winner Chen Yufei and compatriot He Bingjiao. Loh could perhaps consider himself a bit unlucky, with Chou seemingly losing focus in the second set while the Singaporean pushed Chou in the first and the third. Up next, men's doubles top seeds Marcus Gideon and Kevin Sukamuljo – the Minions – go up against Chinese pair Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang in the first semi-final. Thailand's Intanon does qualify for the women's singles final, but the fifth seed needs an hour and seven minutes to see off the strong resistance of Han. And the women's singles final is set – Olympic champ Chen Yufei will play Thailand's Ratchanok Intanon.
