Andre KT lost to Indian Sourabh Verma in marathon match, 21-15 ; 19-21 ; 20-22 in 72 mins, longest duration so far. Meanwhile, local MS Suppanyu only needs very short time to book R/32 spot as 5th seed Marc Zwiebler retired at 2-0 position.
A few minor upsets. The one that stands out is Hafiz Yoyo over Shon Wan Ho in 3 super tight games in 67 mins, no less. Will he have enough left in the tank for the evening match against Persson? Persson himself barely survived in a 57 min match.
Haha, PAW Yoyo at your own peril. You may win the PAW but suffer a heart attack along the way. That's the risk you run
