Kashyap gave a big scare to world and Olympic champion Lin Dan of China before losing 21-16, 17-21, 14-21.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Arvind Bhat and RMV Gurusaidutt joined Jayaram in the second round. While Bhat defeated qualifier Tien Chen Chou of Chinese Taipei 21-18, 21-15, Guru downed Brice Leverdez of France 21-11, 21-16.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Defending champion Saina Nehwal broke no sweat during her first round victory against Tsz Ka Chan of Hong Kong 21-4, 21-17. However, Commonwealth Games gold medalists Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa made another first-round exit, losing to Christinna Pedersen and Kamilla Rytter Juhl of Denmark 15-21, 14-21 in women&#8217;s doubles.<\/p>\n<p>TOI<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jwala made up for the loss by reaching the mixed doubles second round. Jwala and Valiyaveetil Diju downed Wai Hong Wong and Hol Wah Chau of Hong Kong 21-15, 26-24. Men&#8217;s doubles team of Rupesh Kumar and Sanave Thomas progressed to the second round with a 21-16, 21-17 victory over Chris Adcock and Andrew Ellis of England.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saina took just 28 minutes to get past the local girl. Once she secured a substantial lead in the first game, Saina tried all the strokes and warmed up for the tougher battles ahead. Saina will face Jie Yao of the Netherlands in the second round.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Jayaram, who downed world no. 7 Tien Minh Nguyen of Vietnam at the Japan Open in September, registered the biggest victory of his career when he accounted for Sasaki. The Japanese shuttler has the reputation of defeating several world champions including Taufik Hidayat and reigning champ Lin Dan in the last few months.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hyderabad: Continuing his giant-killing spree, Ajay Jayaram stunned world No. 6 Sho Sasaki of Japan in the first round of the Hong Kong Open Super Series on Wednesday. \u00a0 The Indian, who is competing with Parupalli Kashyap for the lone Olympic berth, came back after losing the first game to beat Sasaki 14-21, 21-18, 21-14.
