Kashyap bows out of Hong Kong Open

August 31, 2006 16:39 IST

P Kashyap, India's last hope in the Hong Kong Open badminton championship, bowed out after losing a keenly-contested pre-quarter-final to Olympic champion Taufiq Hidayat of Indonesia.

Kashyap, who upset world No. 19 Przemyslaw Wacha of Poland on Wednesday, came up with another gritty performance but was subdued 21-17, 21-17 by the veteran Indonesian shuttler.

Hidayat, the reigning world champion, set up a quarter-final clash with top seed Lin Dan of China, who prevailed over Kay Bin Yeoh of Malaysia 21-16, 21-16.
