JAKARTA The men's singles badminton player Anthony Sinisuka Ginting managed to secure the ticket to the second round of the 2025 BWF French Open Super 750 event.
He got a ticket after defeating Lee Cheuk Yiu of Hong Kong in two straight games 21-14 and 21-13 at the Glaz Arena on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, WIB night.
This is Ginting's second win in eight tournaments he has been through since returning from an injury to his shoulder.
"For hand injuries, so far it's safe. Only maintenance must be really maintained and shouldn't go too far because it will feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't hurt," Ginting said after the match.

Ginting had previously been sidelined for a long time from the tournament after playing the Malaysia Open 2025 in January. He then returned to the Japan Open in July 2025.
After returning from injury, Ginting appeared under expectation. He always came home in the first half, except at this French Open and the Korea Open in September 2025.
"My target in this championship is more to find a pattern of play in the match, confidence in the field," said the bronze medalist at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Apart from Ginting, tickets to the second half were also successfully secured by mixed doubles Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu and Lanny Tria Mayasari/Amallia Cahaya Pratiwi.
Jafar/Felisha escaped after beating the Mads Vestergaard/Christine Busch pair, while Lanny/Amallia secured victory over Jaqueline Lima/Samia Lima from Brazil.
