Calcutta: Top seed Adya Advani moved into the semi-finals of the under-19 category of the Bengal Junior Open, at Calcutta Racket Club, on Saturday. Adya beat Shreya Suresh 11-4, 11-2, 11-5.

This tournament will serve as a sort of dress rehearsal for Adya, who will represent India in the World Junior Championship in Netherlands from July 31, and the Asian Junior Championship in Iran next month.

In the boys' section, the preliminary round matches were held on the opening day. The seeded players sailed through without much hiccup.
