A Jakarta resident but she plays for East Kalimantan, third seeded Beatrice Gumulya forced to play tough battle by Thai descent Katherine Westbury of New Zealand. Gumulya fought back to claim her victory over Westbury 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.
Another East Kalimantan player and also a resident of Jakarta, second seeded Jessy Rompies survived the fierce challenge of Satjaporn Mahajaroenkul from Thailand and secured 7-6(5), 6-4 victory.
The last hope of Indonesia in boys' singles is 14th seeded David Agung Susanto from Semarang, Central Java.
