Imperfection, poor footwork, faulty service, lack of fitness and incapability to read the V^tT* opponents' moves were among the reasons for defeats of Bangladeshi shuttiers on the second day of the Yonex-Sunrise Bangladesh Open International Badminton Challenge at the Suhrawardi Indoor Stadium in Mirpur yesterday.
In contrast, perfection, quick movement and footwork, adequate stamina, high fitness level and reading the opponents easily were die strengths of tournament's top seed in men's and women's section Hsu Jen Hao and Pai Hsiao Ma respectively.
Both Jen Hao, who is ranked 31st among men in Asia and Hsiao Ma, who is ranked 24th among women in Asia, hardy faced any challenge against their respective Indian counterparts yesterday on their way to the quarterfinal berths, even though they believe the main challenge would come from the Indonesian and Malaysian shuttiers.
"The perfection, footwork, movement and understanding of the opponents depend on training and the number of international engagements in a year for a shuttier," said Hsiao Ma, whose latest participation was at the Polish Open where he finished second.
Hsiao Ma informed that that the shuttiers of Chinese Taipei train five days a week under coaches from China and Indonesia.
"We have a good foundation in badminton as a child takes up the game at the age of 8 to 10 and there are some schools, which are famous for producing good shuttiers," said Hsiao Ma, who is a masters student in Sports Education. She plays from 13 to 15 international tournaments every year with the backing of individual sponsors.
Jen Hao, who participated in the 2012 Olympics in London and was eliminated from the group stages, said that every good shuttier in Chinese Taipei has individual sponsors while the top shuttiers have permanent jobs at private and government organisations.
"There is no short-cut to improvement. Good training facilities must be ensured from the federation/government from childhood and there should be international engagements for shuttiers," said Jen Hao, who once was ranked 24th in Asia.
From the Bangladesh perspective, the attention was on Mohammad Raisuddin, who faced 2nd seed Subhankar Dey of India in the clash for a place in the quarterfinals as rest of the Bangladeshi shuttiers suffered defeats in all events of men's singles, doubles, women's singles and mixed doubles. However, there is still representation of the hosts in the mixed doubles event after their Nepalese counterparts handed them walkover.
Rais lost his game by 6-21, 15-21 points to Subhankar Dey, who is 1122 places ahead in the Asian ranking. Rais gave away at least sixty percent of his points due to his imperfect returns while his faulty serves gave away three to fourgames to Subhankar.
"I knew I would lose to him but I never thought I would be defeated in such a way," said Rais. "I just gave away points
