In the men’s singles draw, Sharath Kamal, Harmeet Desai and G Sathiyan sealed quarterfinal berths.<\/p>\n
Sharath beat Australia’s Heming Hu 11-8 12-10 8-11 11-6 11-5 while Desai notched a win against Malaysia’s Chee Feng LEONG 11-5 11-7 11-5 7-11 11-4 and Sathiyan’s Nigerian opponent Segun Toriola retired after the first game 11-7.<\/p>\n
In the men’s double’s Sharath and Sathiyan reached the quarter finals as they outclassed the Sri Lankan pair of Buwaneka Jayasingha Mudiyanselage and Imesh Ranasingha 11-3 11-4, 12-10.<\/p>\n
The pair of Desai and Sanil Shetty also posted a comfortably over Northern Ireland’s Paul McCreery and Ashley Robinson 11-4 12-10 11-9 to book a quarterfinal berth.<\/p>\n
