Twenty-five minutes were all it took Marin to bat Russian Natalia Perminova aside, giving away only 18 points in the 21-8 21-10 win while world No.2 Axelsen needed six minutes more to beat Canadian Jason Anthony Ho-Shue 21-17 21-7.

Also through was Marin’s perennial on-court foe Pusarla V. Sindhu, who was given a tougher fight by Neslihan Yigit of Turkey before falling 21-16 21-19.

Marin and Axelsen, who featured in all three finals in Bangkok and won two each, next play Julie Dawall Jakobsen and Khosit Phetpradab respectively.
