Odense (Denmark), Oct 17 (IANS): Indian shuttler R.M.V. Gurusaidutt overcame compatriot and friend Ajay Jayaram to enter the men's singles quarterfinals of the $400,000 Denmark Open Super Series Premier at the Odense Sports Park here Thursday.
The World No.24 Gurusaidutt won 21-15, 21-16 in 35 minutes to extend his lead to 3-1 in career meetings over the Mumbai boy.
