The 18-year-old Guo was jolted awake in the fifth set, sweeping three sets to wrap up the final 8-11, 11-7, 4-11, 2-11, 11-5, 11-2, and 11-8.

Guo, who won the mixed doubles with Wang Liqin on Friday, will take on Kim Kyung Ah and Park Mi Young on Sunday.

The other semifinal is between China's Olympic champs Wang Nan/Zhang Yining and Singapore's Li Jia Wei/Wang Yue Gu.
