Tough hurdle: Teo Ee Yi (left) and Ong Yew Sin will play top seeds Mohd Ahsan-Hendra Setiawan of Indonesia in the semi-finals.

PETALING JAYA: It was not the start that seasoned mixed doubles shuttler Chan Peng Soon had hoped for with his younger partner at the Indian Open but he is cool about their quarter-final exit.

Peng Soon and Valeree Siow were made to eat humble pie when they were sent packing 14-21, 13-21 by second seeds Rodion Alimov-Alina Davletova of Russia at the K. D. Jadhav Indoor Hall in New Delhi yesterday.
