Two Indonesian representatives died on the first day. Tommy Sugiarto, who started from the qualifying line, went straight home.
The Indonesian men's singles lost against India's representative, S. Sankar Muthusamy Subramanian, in a rubber game.
Tommy had taken the first set with a far-reaching 21-17 advantage. However, in the second set, the opponent was able to get out of pressure and put up a fierce fight.
