JAKARTA Three Indonesian representatives managed to beat their opponents to reach the semifinals of the All England 2024 tournament.
The quarter-finals took place from Friday, March 15 yesterday to Saturday, March 16 at dawn at Utilita Arena, Birmingham, England.
The three representatives who successfully passed the round were the men's singles duo Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie as well as the men's doubles Fajar Alfian Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
Of the three representatives, the first to make sure they qualify was Anthony. The owner of the bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics stopped the world number one from Denmark, Viktor Axelsen.
Anthony Ginting will next meet French single Christo Popov, who reached the semifinals after stopping Japan's representative, Koki Watanabe.
Jonathan then followed after that after eliminating second seed Shi Yuqi. This badminton player from China lost in the first game and then decided to withdraw due to injury when the second game was about to start.
