Qualifier Trupti Murgunde upset sixth seed Akvile Stapusaityte of Lithuania 21-19, 21-12 to move into the quarterfinals of the Welsh International badminton tournament in Cardiff, Wales on Friday.
The former national champion, who is looking to make a comeback after an injury induced break, had strolled through the qualifying rounds.
But the world number 297 will now face a stiff challenge from Switzerland’s Nicole Schaller for a berth in the semifinals.
Meanwhile, it was an forgettable outing for all other Indian contenders with Prakash Jolly, Velavan Vasudevan and Jacqueline Rose Kunnath falling in the first round.
