In the first round match that lasted 41 minutes, Greysia / Apriyani won two straight games over Honderich / Tsai with a score of 21-12, 21-11, as quoted by Antara from BWF.

Entering the second game, the game became easier for Greysia / Apriyani. They were able to dominate from start to finish and again picked up a 21-11 victory over the Canadian pair.
