Soumyajit Ghosh was the lone Indian to reach the men's singles pre-quarterfinals while country's highest-ranked player Sharath Kamal lost to little known opponent to bow out of the Asian Games here today.
Ghosh glided to a 11-5 11-7 11-5 11-4 win over Phathaphone Thavisack of Laos. He face Pak Sinhyok of North Korea tomorrow.
The most disappointing result of the day was World No.46 Sharath's loss to 271st-ranked Thai Padasak Tanviriyavechakul in another round of 32 contest. The Indian was stunned 11-6 10-12 11-5 9-11 11-6 10-12 9-11.
Indians playing the doubles events failed to progress beyond the round of 32.
Manika Batra and Ankita Das play their round of 32 women's singles matches tomorrow.
