Although Li / Liu managed to win with two straight games 21-15 and 21-15, they praised the appearance of their opponent who carries on different flags.

"Today their game is okay. They are very famous players, and certainly it was not easy to beat them. Although we have prepared a strategy before facing them, we still had to struggle hard in the match," said Liu.

Meanwhile, Liu claimed they both started to enjoy playing in their second match.

"After playing the match, we enjoyed it than ever before. And with the defeat of Gideon/Kevin in the first round, we do not think it really matters since all the opponents are equal now," Liu continued.

In the quarter-final, Li / Liu will meet the winners between Chai Biao/Hong Wei (China) and Lee Jhe-Huei/Lee Yang (Taiwan).
