| | Unprepared champion Hidayat in second round scare |
 | | Four seeds went out, Boonsak Ponsana, the number nine from Thailand, Andrew Smith, the number 15 from England, and Przemyslaw Wacha, the number 16 from Poland in the men's singles, and Hwang Hye-Young, the number 15 in the women's singles. |
 | | Ponsana, who may have had half a mind on the coup back home in Bangkok, was halted 21-15, 21-18 by Shoji Sato, the diligent Japanese player, and Wacha by Kuan Beng Hong, the capable Malaysian. |
 | | The defeat of Smith however was no surprise because his 21-19, 21-13 setback came against Sony Dwi Kuncoro, the Indonesian who won an Olympic bronze medal and who would almost certainly have been seeded himself but for injuries. |
