Meanwhile, Malaysian youngster Soo Teck Zhi also continued his impressive run in the tournament by booking a quarter-final spot after he defeated Kisyov Blagovest 21-12, 21-19.
At the same time. mixed doubles shuttlers Chan Peng Soon and Goh Liu Ying are also through to the quarters after overcoming Czech Republic’s Jakub Bitman and Alzbeta Basova with a convincing 21-7, 21-19 victory.
