Treesa Jolly and Gayatri Gopichand moved into the quarter-finals of the BWF World Championships after defeating seventh seeds Rin Iwanaga and Kie Nakanishi of Japan 21-16, 21-12 at the Indira Gandhi Stadium in New Delhi. The 39th-ranked Indians controlled the Round of 16 tie from the outset and never allowed the Japanese pair to establish a sustained challenge.
