在男双四分之一决赛中，意大利的Leonardo Mutti和Alessandro Baciocchi再一次输掉比赛，被中华台北的Hung Tzu-Hsiang和Lee Chia-Sheng (11-9, 12-10, 11-7, 11-6)四比零打败。

前一天，他们是爆冷，今天则与第二轮对阵头号种子法国队的Tristan Flore和Simon Gauzy (11-9, 11-9, 11-3, 11-8)不同。

今天他们对阵中华台北的时候没能找到节奏，在进攻方面不是很好。

2号种子日本的Yuto Muramatsu和Asuka Sakai，击败了法国的Enzo Angles和Antoine Hachard(11-9, 14-16, 11-6, 9-11, 12-10, 11-9)。

在女双比赛中，头号种子中国的顾玉婷和朱玉玲战胜德国的Nina Mittelham和Petrissa Solja (11-4, 13-15, 11-7, 11-7, 11-2)，2号种子顾若晨和刘高阳，则击败了韩国的Jung Yumi和Lee Dasom (12-10, 12-10, 11-6, 11-3)。

The art of service and receive; it is the critical factor in table tennis.

At the quarter-final stage of the Boys?Doubles event at the Volkswagen World Junior Champi**hips in Hyderabad on Saturday 15th December 2012, it was the crucial factor for Italy Leonardo Mutti and Alessandro Baciocchi.

They were beaten in four straight games by the Chinese Taipei pairing of Hung Tzu-Hsiang and Lee Chia-Sheng (11-9, 12-10, 11-7, 11-6).

It was a far different story than one day earlier when they had caused the biggest upset of the second round when beating the top seeded French partnership of Tristan Flore and Simon Gauzy (11-9, 11-9, 11-3, 11-8).

First Attack Too Strong
Yesterday they were able to play freely against Tristan Flore and Simon Gauzy? explained Lorenzo Nannoni, the Italian coach and for many years a vital member of the Italian National Team.

Today against the Chinese Taipei pair they were never able to get into a rally? continued Lorenzo Nannoni. They were too good with service and receive; too good with the first attack; my boys were never able to find any rhythm in the match.
Success for China and Japan
Success for Chinese Taipei and there was also for both China and Japan.

Lin Gaoyuan and Xu Chenhao, the no.4 seeds, overcame Germany Benedikt Duda and Frederick Jost (11-9, 11-2, 11-9, 11-4), whilst Chinese National Team colleagues, Fan Shengpeng and Fan Zhendong defeated Korea Jang Woojin and Lim Jonghoon (6-11, 11-5, 12-10, 11-8, 8-11, 11-9).

Second Seeds Succeed
Meanwhile, in the one remaining quarter-final Boys?Doubles encounter, it was success for the second seeded Japanese duo of Yuto Muramatsu and Asuka Sakai.

They ended the dreams of Enzo Angles and Antoine Hachard of France (11-9, 14-16, 11-6, 9-11, 12-10, 11-9).

Top Four Progress
No surprises at the quarter-final stage of the Boys?Doubles event and it was very much the same scenario in the round of the last eight in the counterpart Girls?Doubles event; in fact it was even more as per status.

China Gu Yuting and Zhu Yuling, the no.1 seeds, accounted for Germany Nina Mittelham and Petrissa Solja (11-4, 13-15, 11-7, 11-7, 11-2); whilst compatriots, Gu Ruochen and Liu Gaoyang, the no.2 seeds defeated Korea抯 Jung Yumi and Lee Dasom (12-10, 12-10, 11-6, 11-3).

Third and Fourth Seeds Advance
Success for the top two seeds and it was success for the next two in line.

Japan Miyu Maeda and Ayuka Tanioka, the no.3 seeds, accounted for Korea Kim Byeolnim and Lee Zion (11-5, 11-4, 7-11, 11-5, 8-11, 11-4) with Romania Irina Ciobanu and Bernadette Szocs, the no.4 seeds, ending the hopes of Japan Mima Ito and Miyu Kato (11-6, 11-9, 11-8, 11-5).

Girls?Doubles Semi-Finals
At the semi-final stage of the Junior Girls?Doubles, Gu Yuting and Zhu Yuling play Miyu Maeda and Ayuka Tanioka; whilst Gu Ruochen and Liu Gaoyang confront Irina Ciobanu and Bernadette Szocs.

Boys?Doubles Penultimate Round
In the penultimate round of the Boys?Doubles, Hung Tzu-Hsiang and Lee Chia-Sheng face Fan Shengpeng and Fan Zhendong; Yuto Muramatsu and Asuka Sakai confront Lin Gaoyuan and Xu Chenhao.
