Waless Richard Vaughan went out in the second round of the All England Super Series qualifying to Scottish Open winner Tago from Japan.

 In the first set it was point for point up until Vaughan opened a lead at 16-14, where he put a net kill in the net after a crucial long rally. Tago then seemed to step up the pace closing a tight set 21-19.

The 2nd set Vaughan controlled throughout opening a 20-16 lead. However he could not close out the set despite 6 set points and went down 25-23.

Vaughan said "Today was incredible frustrating, I should never have lost the 2nd set. I was in control of large parts of both sets and was not that tired. I was really ill the past 10 days with a bad chest infection and I am still not recovered. I will have to get that sorted before playing another tournament. My chest is bad, and is Its far too much of a distraction in a tough match."
