The 25-year-old won the opening game 21-17 before securing her place in tomorrow's final, winning the second 21-12.

Jindapol will now meet He Bingjiao in the final after the Chinese player overcame Thailand's Busanan Ongbamrung in a thriller this evening.

In the men's singles draw, unseeded Sourabh Varma of India, who shocked home favourite Marc Zwiebler yesterday, reached the final after he ousted 15th seed Anders Antonsen of Denmark.

Varma, ranked 57 in the world, made light work of his opponent as he won 21-15, 21-18 to reach the final.

Joining Varma is China's Shi Yuqi after he dispatched Sameer Verma 21-18, 21-15 in the closing match on court two tonight.

Germany's Johannes Schoettler and Michael Fuchs delighted the home crowd by reaching the men's doubles final on home soil.

Roared on by the partisan crowd in Saarbrücken, the Germans managed to pull through as they claimed the third and decisive game 21-15.

Joining them in the final will be unseeded Malaysian duo Ee Yi Teo and Yew Sin Ong after they beat Chen Hung Ling and Chi-Lin Wang of Chinese Taipei 21-16, 18-21, 21-17.

Thailand's Jongkolpha Kititharak and Rawinda Prajongjai avoided a scare in the women's doubles as they were taken to three games by an unseeded pair.

The second seeds charged into the lead, winning the opening game 21-11 before China's Huang Dongping and her partner Li Yinhui levelled the contest 21-18 in the second.

In a nervy third game, neither pair could be separated until the class and experience of the favourites shone through to win it 21-18.

In the other semi-final China's top seeds Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan also made it through after falling behind to Indonesia's Rizki Amel Pradipta and Tiara Rosa Nuraidah 22-20, only to come back and win the remaining two games 21-13, 21-15.
