"Enjoying first round bye can be both positive and negative. The good thing is that we have a day off, but due to the fact that we haven't played quite too many matches in this venue, it may take more time for us to get used to the condition here," he commented.

Xia added that the teams need to take advantage of the vacant day to adjust themselves to the best condition both physically and athletically.

"We will try to implement our tactics as well as we can in wet and humid condition," he said.

"The men's team could face Hong Kong, China, a strong side, in the first match here. The most important thing is to try our best and make full preparation in terms of all possible difficulties in the match.

"For women's part, we lost to Thailand in the Uber Cup, and expect bigger challenge ahead. But I'm confident that my players will spare no efforts to show their abilities on the court."

The Asian Games badminton matches will run from August 19 until 28 with seven disciplines in total. The team finals will be held on August 22.
