Rumgay suffers early exit
Scottish Gavin Rumgay suffered an early exit at the hands of Hong Kong’s Li Hon Ming, as the 35-year-old Olympic athlete could not match the pace of Ming’s play.
In a 4-0 defeat (11-9, 11-5, 11-4, 13-11) Rumgay looked a little jaded as Ming was set on finishing points early and keeping the games short.
Bittersweet morning for Indians
Vikash Manav Thakkar was in form as he saw off the challenge of USA’s Michael Minh Tran in a 4-0 win (11-6, 11-6, 11-5, 11-7). Sadly for India, Soumyajit Ghosh was unable to replicate his compatriot Vikash’s result.
Playing against Bulgarian Pavel Platonov, Ghosh lost by the same scoreline and was simply not able to register a winning game in the 17 minute match-up.
Remember to check the draw!
Simple start for favorites
China’s Liu Fei and Sweden’s Filippa Bergand had straight forward wins in qualification as they faced Germany’s Franziska Schreiner and Anastasia Bondareva.
Both host nation’s athletes were unable to register a game victory, as they lost in straight games to their far more experienced opponents.
