Beaten by Thai ace, S'porean admits he has to work on his speed, consistency
He had opportunities to win his first game against Kunlavut Vitidsarn and record another upset, but underdog Jason Teh was shown what he is still lacking in his bid to join badminton's elite.
The Thai showed just why he is the reigning world champion and Olympic silver medallist, as he eased to a 21-16, 21-14 win over the Singaporean in their Indonesia Masters men's singles quarter-final on Jan 24.

Teh will pocket US$2,850 (S$3,800) and move on to the Jan 28-Feb 2 Thailand Masters, with more lessons from this week's run at the Istora Senayan in Jakarta.
The 24-year-old told The Straits Times: "Tonight's performance was not super good, but not super bad either.
