Asian Badminton Championships: Kuan, Sony in final clash

HYDERABAD (India): Malaysia's Kuan Beng Hong justified his seeding to reach his second ever men's singles final in the US$125,000 Asian Championships but it was the end of road for men's doubles pair Tan Bin Shen-Ong Soon Hock. 

Yesterday, Beng Hong, the world No. 11 and seeded second in the absence of many top players in the four-star tournament, convincingly smashed past the more experienced Lee Hyun-il of South Korea 15-11, 15-4 in the semi-finals.
