Nehwal carved out a 21-19, 21-17 win against local qualifier Juan Gu in the second round to set up a quarterfinal clash with Firdasari Adrianti of Indonesia.

There was disappointment in the men's section as both the Indians in fray lost their matches.
Bhat gave a tough fight to Denmark's Joachim Persson before going down 11-21, 27-25, 15-21.
Sridhar, who had been in fine form in the season, was lacklustre as he lost 17-21, 13-21 to Malaysia's Sairul Amar Ayob.
