jpnn.com – Indonesian men’s singles badminton player Jonatan Christie made it to the semifinals of the 2024 Hong Kong Open tournament.
Competing at the Hong Kong Coliseum, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Friday (13/9/2024), the player born on 15 September 1997 stopped the Japanese representative, Kodai Naraoka with a score of 21-16, 12-21, 21-15.
After the match, Shania Junianatha’s husband admitted that he had played better than in the previous tournament.
It was noted that the world’s seventh-ranked men’s singles player did not play optimally at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
After winning the All England 2024 and the Badminton Asia Championships 2024, the 2018 Asian Games gold medalist seemed to experience a decline in performance. Jojo even stopped in the group stage of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“Thank God I was able to return to the semifinals. It was my first time competing after the Olympics in less favorable conditions.”
“The results at the Olympics and several previous tournaments always resulted in losses in the early rounds, it was not easy to raise my confidence level again, but in the end I am happy to have made it to this day,” said Jojo – Jonatan’s nickname.
Jonatan Christie hopes that his game can be more optimal at the 2024 Hong Kong Open.
