The sixth seeded Anand had to sweat it out against unseeded Dyonisius H Rumbaka of Indonesia 21-16, 19-21, 21-19 on way to victory.

There were more good news for Indian shuttlers as both the men's doubles duo of Rupesh Kumar and Sanava Thomas and mixed doubles combination of V Diju and Jwala Gutta pocketed victories in their respective matches.
While Rupesh and Sanave defeated Scottish-English pair of Watson Briggs and Marcus Ellis 21-5, 21-19 to enter the second round, Diju and Gutta defeated fourth seed Wouter Claes and Nathalie Descamps of Belgium 21-19, 21-23, 21-15 to move into the quarter-finals.
Rupesh and Sanave will now take on second seeded Belgian combination of Wouter Claes and Frederic Mawet in the third round and Diju-Gutta combine will next face Joachim Fischer Nielsen and Christinna Pedersen of Denmark in the last eight.
