Good evening and welcome to the Sportskeeda liveblog of the Swiss Open 2018. Second seeded Sameer Verma and qualifier RMV Gurusaidutt are the only two singles shuttlers from India to enter the quarter-finals of this BWF World Tour Super 300 tournament.

This is the 2014 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist's first tournament of the year. After being out of action for one year, the former World No. 19 returned to action in 2017 and won the Bulgarian International as a qualifier. He also made it to the final of the Welsh International towards the end of the season.

Because of his inactivity, his ranking had dropped below 900. The performances last year hauled him up by over 700 spots into the top 250. Currently, he is ranked 233rd and faces the World No. 49 Wangcharoen for a place in the semi-finals. This is their first meeting.

Gurusaidutt has been in great form at this event and upset the third seed Ygor Coelho in the first round and followed it up with another big win over higher-ranked compatriot, Sourabh Verma.

He would surely make an effort to keep his winning streak going.
