The opponent he faced was the world's 12th ranked player from Denmark, Rasmus Gemke.

Momota won straight games but with a narrow advantage, scoring 21-19 and 21-18.

Vito, on the other hand, has the advantage of having fresher stamina as he overcame Sameer Verma in the top 16 in just 32 minutes. The Indian single chose to withdraw in the third game.

In the first round, Vito appeared confident when he beat Canadian representative Briyan Yang with a score of 21-16 and 21-17 in just 35 minutes.

In the two matches, Vito took approximately 1 hour in total, in contrast to Momota who spent 2 hours.

This means Vito has a slight advantage in terms of fitness.

If he can take advantage of that, it is not impossible that he will make a surprise by defeating Momota to go to the semifinals. (bwf/mcr15/mcr20/jpnn)
