Badminton: Blair's wish project on track in Seoul

Edinburgh-born Robert Blair continued a great run of form to make it into the main draw for both the men's and mixed badminton doubles at the Victor Korea Open Super Series Premier in Seoul.

In the mixed event, Blair and England's Gabby White won two qualifying rounds by the same 21-14, 21-18 margin.

They defeated a couple of South Korean pairs in Bong Chan Jun and Seung Chan Shin and then Yi Goo Kwon and Ha Na Kim. The reward is a first-round tie against Chinese qualifiers, Wei Bong and Bao Yixin.

In the men's doubles, Blair teamed up with Belgium's Flandy Limpele and they also won two matches to make the main draw. They defeated Indonesia's Angga Pratama and Ryan Agung Supatra 21-18, 21-19 and ousted Koreans Kim Jin and Dae Woong Park 21-13, 21-6 and now face Indonesia's Mohammad Ahsan and Bona Septano.
