Indonesia Masters: Lucky Haircut ‘Elevates’ Vitidsarn
Kunlavut Vitidsarn yesterday eclipsed another home favourite Shesar Hiren Rhustavito 21-14 21-9 to seal a place in the DAIHATSU Indonesia Masters 2021 quarterfinals and it was a hair-raising moment for the 20-year-old.

“Yeah, I think it’s a lucky haircut,” laughed the Thai post-match as he sported a shorter trim following a stretch of tournaments across Europe.
The three-time world junior champion, who got off to an explosive start against Rhustavito after ousting his compatriot and Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist Anthony Sinisuka Ginting in the first round, believes he is playing some of his best badminton.
“It’s all down to my plan too. I’m feeling really good,” Vitidsarn said after his 40-minute victory.
