Badminton: Blair and White in victory

Edinburgh-born Robert Blair and England's Gabby White cruised into the last 16 of the Wilson Swiss Badminton Open in Vienna, while Scottish Champion Susan Egelstaff made a brave bid in the women's singles, writes ELSPETH BURNSIDE.

British No.? 1, Egelstaff raised hopes of a major shock when she took the opening game against the South Korean No.?4 seed, Yuon Joo Bae, before losing her first-round match 21-15, 16-21, 16-21.

Blair and White won 21-13, 21-17, against Dutch pair of Jaco Arends and Selena Pek and were joined in the next round by Glasgow's Imogen Bankier and her English partner, Chris Adcock who beat South Korea's Baek Choel Shin and Ha Na Kim, 21-17 21-17.
