Kiran George moves into 2nd round of Korea Masters

India's Kiran George produced a gritty performance to eke out a three-game win and advanced to the second round of the Korea Masters on Wednesday. The 24-year-old overcame a sluggish start to defeat Vietnam's Kuan Lin Kuo 15-21, 21-12, 21-15 in a 57-minute opening-round clash of the BWF Super 300 tournament. The lone Indian shuttler competing in the tournament, the World No. 44 will take on third seed Chi Yu Jen of Chinese Taipei in the second round.
