Anthony Ginting Doesn't Want To Set A Target For Indonesia Open 2022: Focus One By One

JAKARTA – Men's singles Anthony Sinisuka Ginting is reluctant to set a target even though he has reached the last 16 of the Indonesia Open 2022. He wants to focus on going match by match.

Anthony Ginting passed the first round after playing a tight match against Tommy Sugiarto at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Tuesday, June 14. The world number six won straight games 21-17 and 22-20.

In the next round, Anthony Ginting will face Danish representative Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus in the second round.

"More focus on one by one opponent that will be faced. Then, the same evaluation of the coach also about today's game. In the afternoon and tomorrow there will be another discussion with the coach regarding what strategy should be treated," he said after the match.

Anthony Ginting's reluctance to set a target cannot be separated from the many top players that will be faced in an event as big as the Indonesia Open. As a Super 1000 level championship, a row of big names fills the main draw.

Moreover, in the first round he immediately faced fierce resistance from Tommy. Anthony Ginting was forced to play tight in the middle of the first game and at the end of the second game.

“Playing in the first round, we met players from the top 32 directly. So from the quality point of view, all the players here are good. Of course they are also not players who just compete, but they certainly have a goal," he said.

In the men's singles number, Ginting and Tommy were two of the four Indonesian representatives who participated. The other two men's singles are Sebesar Hiren Rhustavito and Jonatan Christie who have yet to compete.
