The Thai exchanged long exciting rallies with the rivals but they were unable to finish their points. This was their second defeat to the Indonesian pair after the opening round of the Korea Open in June last year. Jongkolphan and Rawinda reached two finals this year, the first on home soil in the Thailand Masters where they won eventually. "After we saw the draw, we wanted to reach the final as we are the second seed. We already tried our best and not to worry about the results," Rawinda said.
