PETALING JAYA: Is Kento Momota’s badminton career nearing an end?
The former Japan men’s singles shuttler was once feared by many but now, the two-time world champion has turned out to be just another ordinary player trying to gain prominence in the men’s singles.
He was supposed to meet another player from China, Li Shifeng in the first round of the Singapore Open starting tomorrow. Momota, however, has pulled out, leaving the path open for Shifeng to progress and play the winner of the opening round match between Hong Yang and Lee Zii Jia of Malaysia.Momota has lost in the early rounds of most his tournaments since finishing as the runners-up to Viktor Axelsen of Denmark at last year’s Malaysian Open in July.
