Rio Olympic silver-medallist PV Sindhu advanced into the quarter-finals of the All England Championship after thrashing Thailand's Nitchaon Jindapol on Thursday.
The 22-year-old Indian shuttler outplayed Jindapol 21-13, 13-21, 21-18 in the second round of the women's singles event in just 66 minutes.
Sindhu, seeded fourth, comfortably won the first game in just 19 minutes.
Jindapol, however, came back strong to take the second game and pushed the tie to a deciding third game.
The Indian fought her way back in a gruelling third round to win it 21-18 and seal the match.
Sindhu will now possibly face Nozomi Okuhara in the quarters.
