Glasgow’s Imogen Bankier and Edinburgh-born Robert Blair, the No. 3 seeds, suffered a disappointing defeat at the quarter-final stage of the Yonex Korea Super Series in Seoul.

Having lost a very tight first game, the British world No. 8 pair went out 22-24 18-21 to Hong Kong’s unseeded duo of Yohan Hadikusomo and Hi Wah Chau.
