Coming from the qualifying round, the Indian defeated Shesar Hiren Rhustavito and Alex Lanier enroute to the main draw, surpassing his own goals. George then ousted Toma Junior Popov 18-21 21-16 21-19 in his opener.
“The goal was to get into the main draw and here I am in the quarterfinals,” George smiled post match.
“In the second game I was having difficulty after changing ends. Lu likes long rallies but I believed in my fitness, and although I've had a lot of long matches, I still felt fresh.”
