Aditi moved to quarter-final showing her first round win over Goto wasn't fluke ... In the second round she scored comeback win after losing the first game.

Ajay scored very comfortable win over his Korean opponent ... Next he is facing Indonesian in the quarter.

Guru scored upset win over top-45 Taiwani player to move in quarter-final ... Sindhu scored close straight games upset win over top-40 Indonesian, next she is facing top-20 Taiwani player in the quarter ... Arundhati also joined others in the quarter with another well fought win ... She is next facing Japanese Kaori Imabeppu, who upset her top country girl Sayaka Sato very easily ... Good to see Indians r taking advantage of weak draw in singles.

Comfortable win for seeded Arun and Aparna in MXD but now real test is against Koreans in quarters.
