JAKARTA: Crushing fourth seed Tine Rasmussen in the earlier round did not provide enough impetus for Indonesia's only women's singles shuttler Adriyanti Firdasari to advance to the semifinals of the France Super Series.
On Friday's quarterfinal round, Adriyanti surrendered her semifinals spot to Yao Jie, who represented the Netherlands, after a 54-minute struggle, 21-18, 19-21, 15-21.
Indonesia's shuttlers advancing to the Saturday's semifinals are men's single shuttler Taufik Hidayat, men's doubles Markis Kido/ Hendra Setiawan, mixed doubles Nova Widianto/ Liliyana Natsir and Hendra Aprida Gunawan/Vita Marissa as well as women's double Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/ Greysia Polii. Mixed doubles Hendra/Vita advanced to Sunday's finals after beating Chinese Tao Jiaming/Zhang Yawen by 22-20, 21-17, on Saturday.
Men's doubles M. Ahsan/ Bona Septano were already crushed at the quarterfinals by Danish pair third seed Mathias Boe/Carsten Mogensen in a rubber-set game. - JP
