Game 1 saw the Indian dominate proceedings as he blazed away to a 6-2 early lead and the maintained that big lead throughout to take the opening by a whopping 21-8 margin.
The second game saw Sai once again race away to a blazing start, winning the first 5 points to go 5-0 up and then, like the opening game, not letting the game slip away from his grasp and eventually sealing the game and the match to move into the final 4 stage of the tournament.
Sai, though, will probably face the biggest test of his career in the semifinals whe he takes on former World No.1 Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia.
