The world No.3 next faces Japan's world No.15 Kanta Tsuneyama, who defeated Indonesia's Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo 21-13, 16-21, 21-18 in the first round.

Commonwealth Games gold-medallists Pearly Tan and M. Thinaah also advanced into the next round, after a 21-16, 21-14 victory over Thailand's Supissara Paewsampran and Puttita Supajirakul on Tuesday.

The women's doubles pair will next play China's top-seeded duo Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan.

Men's doubles pair Ong Yew Sin and Teo Ee Yi moved into the next round on Tuesday with a 21-18, 22-20 win over China's Liang Weikeng and Wang Chang. They will next face another Chinese pair, Liu Yuchen and Du Xuanyi.
