Anton Källberg stepped into the second round today and was beaten there with the American Nikhil Kumar.

The Swede had no problem taking home the match and that after 4-0 in sets in less than half an hour.

Källberg won 11-7 and 11-5, followed by 11-6 and 11-5, and thus got off to a flying start in his Olympic debut.

It was a welcome result from a blue-yellow perspective after the ladies - Stina Källberg and Linda Bergström - left yesterday.

The 23-year-old is now facing Lin Yun-ju, the Taiwanese who is fifth-seeded.
