Polish Shuttler Wacha looks forward to playing against No.3 seed Bao
15:39, August 09, 2008

Przemyslaw Wacha from Poland is looking forward to playing against men's singles No.3 seed Bao Chunlai of China after snatching an easy win over Raul Must from Estonia in the first round of Olympic badminton tournament here on Saturday.

Wacha, currently ranked No.13 on the men's singles' list, looked too strong for the Estonian rookie by defeating him in two straight sets 21-14, 21-15.

"I'm playing very good today, and I'm very happy," said Wacha.

The second round won't be tough for the Pole, as he is pitted against a Swiss shuttler ranked 103. However, he is expected to meet world No. 3 Bao Chunlai in the third round, to whom he had lost the previous three head-to-head matches.

"Bao is a very good player, and I'm looking forward to play against him," said the 27-year-old, whose best record in his career is 2008 European Championships semi-finalist.
