On Thursday in Bangkok, the biggest upsets came in mixed doubles from Korea’s Ko/Eom and Thailand’s Jomkoh/Paewsampran. While both of those pairs fought hard and gave the two highest remaining seeds in the tournament all kinds of trouble, it was two other pairs who shone early on quarter-finals day and found their way into the biggest semi-final round of their career.
