jpnn.com – Anthony Sinisuka Ginting ended his struggle at the 2024 Japan Open early.
The world’s ninth ranked men’s singles player chose retired during the last 32 round against host representative Yushi Tanaka.
Ginting retired after trailing 17-21, 4-5 in the match held at the Yokohama Arena, Japan, Tuesday (20/8/2024).
After the match, Ginting explained that he had a problem with his ankle.
The 2020 Tokyo Olympics bronze medalist also does not want to force his condition and is focused on recovering physically.
“I tried to play in the first game, but I was afraid it would get worse. In the second game after a few points, my ankle felt even worse. Finally I decided to withdraw.”
“So, my left ankle is starting to feel it. Moreover, there is a history of injury in that area. During the preparation, my ankle also felt uncomfortable. After this, I will focus on recovery first,” said Ginting in his statement.
In practice, this result means that Indonesia only has Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo left in the men’s singles sector.
