Playing all three events, Mary was successful in reaching the quarter final stages of the SL4-SU5 women’s singles, losing out to Chanida Srinavakul of Thailand, 17-21, 12-21. This was not the end of her singles though; playing on the SL4 women’s bronze medal match Mary was narrowly defeated by Germany’s Katrin Seibert 20-22, 14-21.
In the mixed doubles, pairing up with Germany’s Jan- Niklas Potts, the pair came up against some tough opponents and were unable to reach the knockout stages.

Bronze would be what they had to finish with, having lost to Seibert and Srinavakul, 15-21, 5-21.
