NO INDONESIAN SHUTTLER LEFT IN THAILAND OPEN

Jakarta, June 28 (ANTARA) - The one and only Indonesian shuttler left in the semifinal round of the Grand Prix Gold Thailand Open, Alamsyah Yusuf failed to book a ticket for the final round after being defeated by first-seed Lin Dan of China.
With Alamsyah's defeat, Indonesia would have no shuttler in the final round of the championship to be held on Sunday.
In the semi-final round, he was defeated in a straight set 16-21, 18-21, the official website of the tournament which is being held in the Nimibut National Stadium, Bangkok, said on Saturday.
"He is far behind Dan in all aspects. For sure, this is his first meeting with Dan," the coach for single number, Hendrawan said.
He said the meeting between Alamsyah, the world's 79th rank, and Dan was important to add his experience.
Before facing Dan, Alamsyah has defeated third-seeded Joachim Persson of Denmark and ninth-seeded March Zwiebler of Germany.
