JAKARTA The journey of the men's singles badminton player Jonatan Christie immediately stopped in the first round of the Denmark Open 2023 due to losing against Chou Tien Chen.
Jonathan's move was confirmed to run aground after he lost two straight games 17-21 and 12-21 against the Chinese Taipei representative at Jyske Bank Arena, Denmark, Wednesday, October 18, WIB night.
Jonathan said after the defeat that he had many things that needed to be improved. Not only technical problems, but non-technical problems are also homework for him.
"It's not easy to get through moments like this. Honestly, I have to fix a lot of sides, technical and non-technical," he said.
In this match, the owner of the 2018 Asian Games gold medal came from behind to lead four points in the first game interval game.
He then kept the advantage to 15-10 before starting to falter. Then in the second game, the game was far from impressive.
"Earlier, I made many mistakes myself and was not calm. I would definitely try to get up, as soon as possible," said Jonathan.
"It seems nothing has changed too significantly from the game Chou (Tien Chen), only he seems to be able to read and anticipate my punches so that several times he gets very easy attacks," he added.
Jonathan is one of four representatives who have been confirmed to return today. The previous three were two of mixed doubles and one of the women's singles.
Of the failed mixed doubles were Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti and Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari, while the women's singles that ran aground were Putri Kusuma Wardani.
