Ankita, on the other hand, was at her lethal best as the ace Indian women's singles player did not drop a single game en route to her 6-0, 6-0 win over Gotov Dulguunjargal of Mongolia in the second round duel that lasted mere 26 minutes.
Sanam will next play Korea's Hyeon Chung for a place in the quarter-finals tomorrow, while Yuki will be up against Christopher Benjamin Rungkat of Indonesia.
In the women's singles, Ankita will face Eri Hozumi of Japan in the pre-quarters.
