Yonex BWF World Championships 2011 - Day 2 update

Not a lot of Indian's in the fray today.

Parupalli Kashyap didn't do himself much good by taking almost an hour to beat Dieter Domke in a Round 1 match. He now faces Tien Minh Nguyen early tomorrow and has little time to recover. It will be a good match to win for him, although I doubt he will.

Ajay Jayaram is much better placed. He had a day off today and faces Vladimir Ivanov tomorrow. It will be tough but I think he has a good chance of making it to Round 3 by winning this Round 2 encounter.

The mens doubles pair of Rupesh Kumar and Sanave Thomas bowed out of the championship after a defeat in Round 2 as predicted by me here.

Ofcourse, the star of the day was Carolina Marin who beat 15th seed Eriko Hirose in a marathon match lasting over an hour.
