Eighth seed Shreyansh Jaiswal of Chhattisgarh ousted ninth seed Rohit Yadav 21-14, 21-17 of Air Authority of India to enter the quarterfinals of the men’s singles of the 79th Senior National badminton championship at DRRMC indoor stadium here on Tuesday.
The tall Jaiswal was more productive in finding the open spaces and excelled near the net to take a 16-9 lead in the first game.
In the second, Yadav fought well to equal at 9-all but he could not match his opponent in the tussles close to the net. His 37-minute on-court ordeal ended when Jaiswal sealed it 21-17.
Fifth seed Subhankar Dey and 14th seed Oscar were the major casualties.
