ndonesian Badminton mixed doubles heroes Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir scored an easy victory over China'€™s Kai Lu and Huang Yaqiong, beating them 21-12, 21-11 on Thursday in Odense, Denmark, to secure their place in the quarterfinals of the Denmark Open Super Series championship.

The three-time All England champions really showed their class, controlling the court from the first game and leaving the young Chinese players out of sorts with a rash of unforced errors. Riky Widianto and Puspita Richi Dili also made it to the next round after defeating Liu Yuchen and Yu Luo, 22-20, 24-22.

Unfortunately, Praveen Jordan and Debby Susanto were defeated by first seeds Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei of China 21-15, 22-20, Reuters reported

In the men'€™s doubles, Indonesia'€™s Gideon Markus Fernaldi and Markis Kido defeated Germany'€™s Max Schwenger and Josche Zurwonne 21-7, 21-18. Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan were scheduled to play later in the evening against China'€™s Cai Yun and Kai Lu. So were women'€™s doubles pair Pia Zebadiah Bernadeth and Rizki Amelia Pradipta, and Dionysius Hayom Rumbaka.
