London Olympics bronze medallist Saina Nehwal stormed into the women's singles quarterfinals of the USD 750,000 French Open with a straight game win over Denmark's Line Hjmark Kjaersfeldt here on Thursday.
The eighth seeded Indian, who had won the Indonesia Masters early in the year before going through a rough patch, dispatched Line 21-10 21-11 in 27 minutes.
The two-time Commonwealth Games champion, who had lost in the first round in three successive events, will next take on Korea's An Se Young, who had last week knocked out India's P V Sindhu in the opening round of Denmark Open.
Saina had defeated Hong Kong's Cheung Ngan Yi 23-21 21-17 in the opening round last night.
