Schedule And Arrangement Of The 2022 Thomas Cup Quarter-Finals Indonesia Vs China: Ahsan/Kevin Trusted Again
JAKARTA - The Indonesian team will face China in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Thomas Cup at Impact Arena, Bangkok on Thursday, May 12. This match will start at 19:00 WIB.
In this heated battle, Indonesia fielded the best men's singles, namely Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie, Shesar Hiren Rhustavito.
In addition, the Indonesian coaching team also fielded a new pair of Mohammad Ahsan / Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo. This senior and junior duo will face Liu Yu Chen/Ou Xuan Yi.
In the last match of the Thomas Cup group stage between Indonesia and South Korea, the Ahsan/Kevin pair actually lost. However, of course the coaching team has their own judgment when deciding to keep playing this pair.
Before the Kevin/Ahsan vs Yu Chen/Xuan Yi duel begins, the match will be heated up first with the appearance of the men's singles as the opening act. This number will bring together Anthony Sinisuka Ginting with Zhao Jun Peng.
Referring to head to head, Ginting can actually be superior in this match. He is recorded to have won two of the three meetings against Jun Peng.
However, Ginting's performance was again questioned. In matches in the preliminary round, Ginting always loses.
Proceeding to the third match, Jonathan Christie will face Li Shi Feng. This meeting will be a rematch of the 2020 Thomas Cup final.
At that time, Jonathan won through the rubber game and ensured the Thomas Cup title to Indonesia.
In the fourth match, there will be a men's doubles duel between Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto and Ren Xiang Yu/Tan Qiang. The duel in the quarter-finals of the 2022 Thomas Cup is the first meeting between the two pairs.
The following is the composition of the Indonesia vs China players in the 2022 Thomas Cup Quarter-Finals:
Anthony Sinisuka Ginting vs Zhao Jun Peng
Mohammad Ahsan/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo vs Liu Yu Chen/Ou Xuan Yi
Jonathan Christie vs Li Shi Feng
