In the week's second major upset, celebrated men's doubles world leaders Marcus Fernaldi Gideon and Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo from Indonesia were taken out of the Olympics by a team from Malaysia in about half an hour.

Gideon and Sukamuljo - known fondly at home as the "Minions" because of their diminutive stature - lost 14-21, 17-21 to world number nine team Malaysia's Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik.

All was not lost for the Indonesian men's doubles hopes, however, with world number two team Mohammad Ahsan and Hendra Setiawan defeating Japan's Takeshi Kamura and Keigo Sonoda 21-14, 16-21, 21-9 in a tight match. "China usually focuses on the Olympic Games more than other countries so I think I need to prepare well and think about her tactics," she said.
