Former world champion Ratchanok Intanon of Thailand, last year\u2019s losing finalist Han Yue of China and defending Asian Games champion Li Shifeng are among the high profile casualties in the opening round of the Badminton Asia Championships at the Ningbo Olympic Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Seventh seeded was beaten 16-21, 18-21 by Korean Kim Ga-eun in the women\u2019s singles first round. It was the Ga-eun\u2019s first win over Ratchanok in six meetings and earned a second round clash against Japan\u2019s Riko Gunji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fifth seeded Han Yue was also shown the exit by a Korean player \u2013 Sim Yu-jin. Despite taking the first game, Han Yue was dismantled in the next two, giving Yu-jin a well-deserved 16-21, 21-10, 21-15 win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Korean lass will play Malaysia\u2019s Letshanaa Karupathevan, who defeated India\u2019s Tanvi Sharma 21-19, 21-14, in the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The two Koreans joined their compatriot and top seed An Se-young, who is looking for the only major title to elude her. The Olympic champion brushed aside Singapore\u2019s Yeo Jia Min 21-15 21-10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the men\u2019s singles India\u2019s Ayush Shetty stunned the Shifeng, the world number seven 21-13, 21-16. The US Open champion took 51-minutes to upstage the Chinese star and will play Chi Yu Jen of Chinese Taipei next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the men\u2019s doubles, sixth seeded Man Wei Chong-Tee Kai Wun failed to get past the opening hurdle, losing 18-21, 18-21 to China\u2019s He Jiting-Ren Xiangyu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also out are the seventh seeded Malaysian pairing of Goh Sze Feo-Nur Izzuddin. Thailand\u2019s unheralded Chaloempon Charoenkitamorn-Worrapol Thongsa-Nga picked up a hard-earned 24-22, 18-21, 21-11 win over the Malaysians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
