Seventh seed Amrita Mohapatra of Orissa and Maharashtra's Heena Khandelwal, seeded eighth, were in the casualty list at the end of the four days of league matches.

Among those to advance ahead of the seeds were Sangeeta Hemchand, Jagruti Patel (both Mah) and Kamla Chandra Babu (TN).

The sixth seed Pooja struck form, though a trifle too late. Among those to bear her brunt today were Priyanca Gurnani and third seed Judy Walia, the latters unbeaten run finally ending. But it did not matter after all as Judy topped Group C and Jagruti getting a walkover Priyanca to finish second in the group.

Only Group B saw favourites, Neeta Sanghvi and Anuja Thakur, fourth and fifth seeds respectively qualify forthe quarters.
