Rushmi Chakravarthy and Sanaa Bhambri carved out victories in contrasting styles to move into the second round of the qualifiers at the USD 170,000 WTA Sunfeast Open in Kolkata [ Images ] on Saturday.

Chakravarthy, seeded sixth in the qualifiers, breezed passed local girl Ragini Vimal 6-1, 6-3 in the day's first match at the Netaji Indoor Stadium.

Vimal seemed no match for the seasoned Chakravarthy who unleashed a series of winners to run away with the match and set up a second round clash with Chin-wei Chan of Chinese Taipei who had a bye in the opening round.

Seventh seed Bhambri, on the other hand, faced a little more resistance from Poonam Reddy before fashioning a 7-5, 6-4 win. She will now lock horns with another Chinese Taipei player Chia-jung Chuang [ Images ] in the second round on Sunday.
