India's leading male player Saurav Ghosal sustained an injury on his right foot in his first round match against Steve Coppinger and that aggravated for him to concede a walk over to top seed Mohammed Elshorbagy of Egypt.
Dipika went down to the third seed Camille Serme of France 7-11, 11-8, 11-3, 11-8 where it was a closer finish for Joshna who was two games to one at one stage before crashing out to Joelle King of New Zealand. The New Zealander won 9-11, 11-8, 9-11, 12-10, 11-6 after a hour-long contest.
