Thai rising stars Pitchamon Opatniputh and Panitchaphon Teeraratsakul advanced to the semi-finals of the BWF Indonesia Masters on Friday but Ratchanok Intanon was forced to pull out with an injury. World No.6 Ratchanok pulled out of her match against Nozomi Okuhara of Japan after what appeared to be a knee injury. Men's singles hope Panitchaphon matched Pitchamon's success and made it to the Super 500 semi-finals for the first time. The 21-year-old knocked out seventh seed Lakshya Sen of India 21-18, 22-20 in the quarter-finals on Friday. However, fourth seeds Thom Gicquel and Delphine Delrue of France lost to sixth seeds Jafar Hidayatullah and Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu of Indonesia 13-21, 22-20, 21-16.
