The tournament's fifth seed took just 24 minutes to win 11-4, 11-9, 12-10 against the 19th seed, extending her unbeaten run over Aira to five matches.
Sivasangari will face Belgium’s Tinne Gilis in the third round. Gilis advanced after beating another Malaysian player, Aifa Azman, 11-7, 11-6, 11-3 in 25 minutes.
