Indian shuttler Anand Pawar entered the men's singles pre-quarterfinals of the $50,000 Scottish Open Grand Prix here Thursday.
The seventh seed defeated unseeded Danish Kim Bruun 21-7, 21-15 in 33 minutes at the Emirates Arena, the same arena where the Commonwealth Games were held.
He will next take on Dutch Erik Meijs for a place in the last eight.
Pawar's compatriot Saili Rane will play her women's singles second round later in the day.
