    A first round loser in the Malaysian Open can still afford to smile.

    The US$200,000 Malaysian Open is the first leg of the Badminton World Federation’s (BWF) Super Series. In the series, even a first round singles loser will go back home with US$300.

    Previously, only players who reached the quarter-finals received incentives.

    This time, the men’s singles winner will receive the highest prize money of US$16,000 while the mixed doubles champions will get the lowest – US$11,600.

    Not bad at all, TH or LD (either one) will have the privilege of being the first international star to go home after losing at first round.

    not sure whether this will demotivate some players to fight their best into the final since first round loser will still get $$ :confused:
