Seventh seed Karman Kaur Thandi and wild card Rutuja Bhosale kept the Indian interest alive in the ITF Women's Tennis championships by reaching the quarter-finals with contrasting wins at the Deccan Gymkhana courts here yesterday. Karman Thandi had an easy day out and drubbed unseeded Ukrainian Valeriya Strakhova 6-1, 6-1 in an hour, while giant-killer Rutuja took the difficult way to shrug off the last standing qualifier Laja Juvan of Slovania 4-6, 6-2, 6-3 in second round matches.
