Competing at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Putri Kusuma Wardani defeated Japan's Tomoka Miyazaki with scores of 22-20, 21-23, 21-18.

“I am thrilled to reach my second final in two weeks and my first at the Super 500 level. I hope to stand on the highest podium tomorrow,” Putri said, as quoted by antaranews.com..

Last week, Putri reached the final of the Taipei Open but fell short against South Korea’s Sim Yu-jin.
