JAKARTA The men's singles badminton player Anthony Sinisuka Ginting decided to withdraw from All England 2025 because he was not 100 percent ready after recovering from an arm injury.
The owner of the bronze medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics received this arm injury while playing at the Malaysia Open 2025 in January 2025.
Head of the PBSI National Training and Achievement Division, Eng Hian, said that Ginting still needed more thorough preparation to return to appear in competitive events.
"Ginting has recovered from an arm injury, but his condition should be better prepared to take part in a major tournament."
"So, we prefer to take preventive measures by preparing Ginting's condition more optimally to be able to participate in the tournament in the future and avoid his injury recurring," he said.

Malaysia Open 2025 is still the only tournament Ginting has played on this year's tour calendar. At that time, he returned home in the second round of the tournament.
The injury problem at the Axiata Arena made Ginting absent from the India Open and Indonesia Masters 2025, tournaments with Super 750 and 500 BWF levels, respectively.
Ginting is only expected to play again in the 2025 Badminton Asia Championships on 8-13 April 2025.
Meanwhile, All England 2025 will run 11-16 March 2025 at Utilita Arena, Birmingham, England.
Last year, Indonesia won two titles through the achievements of Jonatan Christie and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto. Ginting had to settle for being runners-up.
