TOKYO, July 25 (Reuters) - In his long overdue Olympic debut, men's singles number one Kento Momota of Japan easily beat the United States' Timothy Lam 21-12 21-9 on Sunday, even making the occasional trick shot behind his back during their warm-up.
Though Lam had his moments - once bringing his "favourite player" Momota to his knees - he was no match for Japan's darling on his home turf.
