Dubai — Malaysia’s former world top three and All-England champion Mohammad Hafiz bin Hashim, and India’s former world quarterfinalist Anup Sridhar, cruised to comfortable wins in the super league stage of the India Club 38th Global Hawk Imaging & Diagnostics LLC UAE Open Badminton Tournament.
In the late night fixtures on Tuesday in round two, the duo kept their win-loss record to 2-0 with clear cut verdicts over their Indonesian and Bahraini opponents.
