Comeback bid hits hurdle

Comeback bid hits hurdle

The comeback campaign of former rising badminton star Sitthikom Thammasin was halted yesterday as he lost to local favourite Shesar Hiren Rhustavito 21-8 21-11 in the final of the USM Flypower Indonesia International Challenge in Semarang.

Sitthikom admitted he had not concentrated well enough and this had caused his big defeat to his world 103rd ranked Indonesian opponent.
The 22-year-old former top 100 player took a two-year-break due to knee and back injuries and was in his only third international event. 
As a qualifier, he reached the quarter-finals of the September’s Vietnam Open Grand Prix in his first comeback event. 
His next event will be in Macau next week.
