Top seed Sri Vaishnavi Peddi Reddy continued her winning run to progress to the girls' singles quarter-finals in the CCI-ITF Junior boys & girls' under-18 Tennis Championship in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Reddy, who won the ITF junior title in New Delhi last month, wasted little time in taming unseeded compatriot Snehal Mane 6-1, 6-0 in a pre-quarter-final encounter at the Cricket Club of India courts.

In the next round, she has an interesting contest against India's eighth seed Vasanthi Shinde, who rallied strongly to defeat China's  Taipei's Yuchia Chen 2-6, 6-4, 6-3.

In boys' competition, top seed Goran Markovic, who finished runner-up in the New Delhi tournament, had an easy outing, winning 6-2, 6-2 over India's Garry Tokas.
