The loss, in straight games to Kantaphon Wangcharoen, was a bleak wrap on a mostly disappointing season for the player seen as the brightest prospect of Hong Kong men’s singles badminton.
This year didn’t begin well, either. Two first-round, and one second-round loss seemed to foretell another uneventful season.
Thus, when Angus made the semifinals of the YONEX All England last week, it was not just a reversal of recent fortunes for the 24-year-old, but badly-needed affirmation of his abilities.
