Focus On Facing Tsuneyama In The Round Of 16, Ginting: There Are Definitely Flaws That I Must Pay Attention To

JAKARTA - Anthony Sinisuka Ginting defeated the representative of Russia, Sergey Sirant, 21-12 21-10, in the last match of Group J at Musashino Forest Plaza, Wednesday, July 28. Ginting occupies the top position of the group.

In the round of 16, the 24-year-old athlete will face deputy host Kanta Tsuneyama who leads Group I.

These two athletes have faced each other since the junior tournament and the last meeting occurred at the 2018 World Championship. At that time, Tsuneyama was ahead of Ginting.

Being ranked fifth in the world, Ginting is superior to Tsuneyama, who sits at number 13. However, Ginting is currently all in the same position.

"The last time we saw a potential opponent here was at the All England. Maybe the game will not change much. Every athlete has their own strengths and weaknesses. Later, the coach and I will see the video of the opponent's last game and from there I can get an idea," Ginting said after the match in an official statement received by VOI.

"Even though we last met in 2018, there are definitely advantages that must be anticipated and shortcomings that I must pay attention to. This is a note for me to prepare myself," added Ginting.
