It took just 24 minutes for the Women’s doubles pair of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa to move into the quarterfinals of the US Open Grand Prix Gold as they beat the pair of Ozge Bayrak and Neslihan Yigit of Turkey 21-10 21-18 in the second round on Thursday.

The Indian pair began strongly in Game 1, winning several points at a stretch and not letting their opponents take any control at any stage to eventually win the game 21-10 in their favour.

The second game proved to be a more tighter affair as the Turkish pair tried to make a fist of the contest but unfortunately the pairing of Gutta and Ponnappa proved to be too good for them and they made their way into the quarterfinals.

They will face the German pair of Johanna Goliszewski and Carla Nelte in the quarterfinals.
