The two players, looking to regain their dominance were tied at a game-all with Okuhara levelling the match after losing the first game 15-21, 22-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An injured Ratchanok was unable to continue, giving Okuhara a semi-final berth, where she will be up against former Olympic champion Chen Yufei of China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yufei defeated India\u2019s P.V. Sindhu 21-13, 21-17 in a semi-final match that saw the Indian players being red-carded. Trailing 12-17 in the second game, Sindhu was unhappy with the line calls and her vehement protests against the chair umpire saw her getting the yellow card and in quick succession a red.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other semi-finals will see two unheralded players \u2013 Malaysia\u2019s Letshanaa Karupathevan taking on Thailand\u2019s Opatniputh Pitchamon. The Thai lass came back from a game down to defeat Vietnam\u2019s Nguyen Thuy Linh 18-21, 26-24, 21-12 while Letshanaa picked up a comfortable 21-17, 21-18 win over Taiwanese shuttler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Letshanaa is the first Malaysian women in three years to make a semi-final of a BWF 500 series event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore\u2019s Loh Kean Yew will be the most prominent player to make the semi-final cut. The sixth seed packed off Taiwanese veteran Chou Tien Chen 21-13, 21-18 in his quarter-final tie and will play Thailand\u2019s Teeraratsakul Panitchaphon next. Teeraratsakul edged out India\u2019s Lakshya Sen 21-18, 22-20 in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other semi-finals will see Indonesia\u2019s Alwi Farhan taking on Taiwanese Chi Yujen. Yujen gunned down Singapore\u2019s Jason The 21-18, 13-21, 21-13 while Alwi defeated Japan\u2019s Yushi Tanaka 22-20, 21-16 in their respective quarter-final ties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The men\u2019s doubles saw both the second and third seeded pairs being shown the exit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unseeded youngsters Raymond Indra-Nikolaus Joaquin upstaged their more illustrious Indonesian teammates Fajar Alfian-Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, the second seeds 18-21 , 21-19, 21-14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Third seeds Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun ran out of steam against their Indonesian rivals Sabar Karyaman Gutama-Moh Reza Pahlevi Isfahani in the men\u2019s doubles quarter-finals.
