Meun Rothana failed to get past the group stages of the boys\u2019s singles teqball competition at the Asian Youth Games in Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rothana started his campaign on a winning note, defeating Lebanon\u2019s Radi Chebbo 12-7, 12-6 but could not keep up the momentum in his next two Group C matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was outclassed 5-12, 4-12 in his second group match by Kuwaiti Naser Alsaqer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the crucial final group tie, Rothana was edged out 12-10, 7-12, 11-13 by a resurgent Muhammad Siddiqui of Pakistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With only the top two players in the group advancing to the quarter-final stages, Rothana could only finish third in the group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Siddiqui topped the group with Alsaqer finishing second, with both players advancing to the last eight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rothana will be back in action in the boys\u2019 doubles competition. He and partner Cheat Kheamravisoth will open their campaign in Group B against India\u2019s Akash Singha-Rajib Barbhuiya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other pairs in the group include the Filipino duo of Nomar Andres-Fits Erece, Iraq\u2019s Abulfadhel El Elayawi-Nooruldeen Khammas, Katanyu Potong-Ketsada Mahasaksit of Thailand and the Bahraini pair of Hussain Isa-Ali Hassan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
