Wang Yihan came from behind to beat injured Maria Kristin Yulianti 16-21, 21-5, 21-10 in the women's singles. "I'm not familiar with Yulianti because I only watched her playing through video," Wang said. "I could not adapt to her rhythm in the beginning but I gradually adjusted and won."

Yulianti limped off the court because of her right knee injury. She said afterwards that it was hard for her to continue during the match.

"The injury really hurts. I could have tied the match at 1-1 if I was healthy," said Yulianti, the world No.15.

Lin "Super" Dan overcame a sluggish start to beat Simon Santoso 13-21, 21-14, 21-11. "I had really a poor start tonight," said Lin. "I felt quite different from I was in the previous two matches. I hope my form will becoming better in the semifinals."
