Aha, Kashyap on Court 1. I like this lad

 

[demolidor]

With every point, he's looking more like 1882

:d yes, I kinda expected it having played 3 matches already, including beating Swiss no.1/champ Boesiger (although Hogianto is ranked #1 and didn't play in the Swiss national championships, nor did the other Swissonesians)

 

[Gicutzu]

Another "Swiss" guy on court 4, Hafiz Shaharudin. This one doesn't sound so Indonesian, rather from a little more to the north.

 

[madbad]

On court 4, representing Switzerland, Hafiz Shaharudin. I understand this fella is from a long standing badminton family of Swiss German descent.
