PARIS: Para shuttler Amin Burhanuddin will have to play the waiting game at the Paris Paralympics to see whether he would get to advance to the semi-finals of the men's singles SL4 event.
Amin bounced back to beat Siripong Teamarrom of Thailand 21-14, 22-20 in his second Group B match in the men's singles SL4 event at the Porte de La Chapelle Arena, Paris, today.
However, his chance of reaching the semi-finals will depend on Siripong's next match against India's Sukant Kadam on Sunday.
Amin's hopes of making it to the final four took a blow following his loss to Sukant on Thursday.
Earlier, national para swimmer Nur Syaiful Zulkafli seemed to have found his rhythm at the Paris Paralympics after advancing to the final of the S5 men's 100m freestyle at the Paris La Defense Arena.
Nur Syaiful finished fourth in the second heat with a time of 1:16.82 seconds behind Oleksandr Komarov of Ukraine (1:11.26s).
The Sarawakian finished sixth overall from two heats and was in the group of eight best swimmers to the final.
Today, the 29-year-old got off to a shaky start when he failed to get past the heats after finishing ninth overall with a time of 2:52.67s in the men's S5 200m freestyle.
