Kirsty Gilmour strung together a remarkable first-game comeback to move into the second round at the Thailand Masters.
The Scot found herself facing five game points against Ruselli Hartawan but stunned her Indonesian rival with seven straight points to move into the advantage.
Gilmour then raced into a 9-1 lead in game two, which Hartawan steadily closed as near as one point at 18-17.
But from there Gilmour held her nerve to progress 22-20 21-17.
She will now face third seed An Se Young in round two for the second consecutive tournament. The Korean teen won in straight games at last week’s Indonesia Masters.
For England, Lauren Smith made it through to the second round in both her doubles disciplines at the BWF World Tour Super 300 event.
Both wins came in straight games. Alongside Chloe Birch, she saw off home pair Chasinee Korepap & Kwanchanok Sudjaipraparat 21-19 21-16.
And later in the day, Marcus Ellis – who already found himself through in the men’s doubles on Tuesday – partnered up with Smith to down Rodion Alimov & Alina Davletova 21-19 21-7.
After a hard-fought first game which saw the pairs separated by no more than three points, the second was a breeze for the sixth seeds.
They entered the mid-game interval 11-4 up and a run of seven straight points made victory a formality.
Birch & Smith’s women’s doubles opener was equally as close, but Korepap & Sudjaipraparat led 14-10 in the second, only for the English combination to win 11 of the final 13 points to progress.
Birch & Smith face a tough test in fourth seeds Lee So Hee & Shin Seung Chan on Thursday, while Ellis & Smith tackle China’s Ren Xiang Yu & Zhou Chao Min in the mixed.
Ellis & Chris Langridge found out their men’s doubles opposition on Wednesday – Indonesians Muhammud Shohibul Fikri & Bagas Maulana.
However, top British men’s singles hope Toby Penty lost out in a tough first-round draw against second seed Shi Yu Qi of China 21-10 21-18.
And elsewhere in the mixed doubles Irish pair Sam & Chloe Magee lost 21-16 21-14 to Honk Kongers Yeung Ming Nok & Ng Tsz Yau.
From 8-1 down the Magees fought back to level at 16-16 in the first, but late bursts in both games sent Yeung & Ng through.
