Singapore Open 2024: Jonathan Bend Chou Tien Chen

JAKARTA Men's singles Jonatan Christie immediately lost in the first half so he had to lift the suitcase earlier than the Singapore Open 2024.

The third seed in the tournament lost two straight games 17-21 and 6-21 against China Taipei's singles, Chou Tien Chen, on Wednesday, May 29, 2024, noon WIB.

Jonathan said that he was truly disappointed and very difficult to accept the results he got.

"I am not patient in implementing the pattern with the conditions that occurred on the ground. The strategic change from the last meeting also did not go well," said Jonantan, the age of the match.

Jonathan also admitted that he did not adapt quickly and did not find the right pattern in this match.

"This is a good lesson for me because maybe the conditions in Paris at the Olympics can be the same as this. I have to be even more prepared," he said.

Jonathan further plans to appear at the Indonesia Open 2024 on June 4-9, 2024.

"Maybe I will go to the 2024 Australian Open, but I don't know yet. Now I will immediately focus on the 2024 Indonesia Open," he said.

From the men's singles, one ticket to the second round of the Singapore Open 2024 had previously been secured by Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.

Ginting got a ticket to the round of 16 without discontinuing after his potential opponent from Malaysia, Lee Zii Jia, resigned due to a hamstring injury.
