Qualifier Sreeja Akula’s dream run continued as she reached the women’s singles quarterfinals with a 3-0 drubbing of Barbora Balazova of Slovakia in the round of 16 in the World Table Tennis Contender Budapest here on Wednesday . The 23-year-old Sreeja used her soft-pimpled rubber to good effect against the Slovakian. The 29-year-old Balazova was clearly uncomfortable against the rubber, making quite a few mistakes at critical junctures. However, G. Sathiyan, the fourth seed, faltered. The Indian bowed out of the men’s singles pre-quarterfinals, losing 1-3 to Niagol Stoyanov of Italy.
