The third-seed Vanshika Choudhary of Uttar Pradesh, lost 6-4, 2-6, 7-5 to Sarah Dev (Punjab).
Fourth-seed Kaavya Sawhney (UP) survived the seed-bashing, easing past Vanshita Pathania of Karnataka 6-4, 6-2.
In the boys event, top seed Dev Javia of Gujarat and third seed Kabir Hans (Odisha) advanced but fourth-seed Krishan Hooda (Haryana) lost to Kerala's Akhilendran Indrabalan 6-7, 4-6.
The boys doubles final will see Sushant Dabas and Krishan Hooda (Haryana), the top-seeds, take on the second seeded pair of Madhwin Kamath and Ajay Malik.
