This is Rinov/Pitha's second defeat to Yuki/Misaki from a total of five competitive meetings. Their current win-loss record with the Japanese doubles is 4-2.
Ginting and Apri/Fadia's success has made Indonesia secure three tickets for the second half. Previously, one ticket had already been pocketed by the women's singles, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung.
