Kunlavut, who claimed his first World Tour title in Germany on Sunday, defeated HS Prannoy of India 21-15, 24-22 in the men's singles event at Utilita Arena.
The 19-year-old rising star fended off a game point in the second to seal his place in the last 16 against Jonatan Christie.

Next for Busanan is a match-up against top seed and 2020 champion Tai Tzu-ying. The Taiwanese star was rarely troubled in her match against Lianne Tan of Germany, winning 21-12, 21-14.
Defending champion Nozomi Okuhara of Japan also made it to the last 16. The Japanese fifth seed defeated Line Christophersen of Denmark 21-15, 21-16.
