JAKARTA - Indonesia will place two representatives in the final of the badminton Swiss Open 2022 which will take place in St. Jakobshalle, Basel, Switzerland, Sunday. The Swiss Open is a badminton tournament at Super 300 level. The two representatives are Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto men's doubles, and Jonatan Christie's men's singles.
Jonatan Christie, who is the fourth seed, will play the final match tonight by facing India's representative Prannoy HS Jojo, Jonatan's nickname, advancing to the final after struggling to beat the seventh seeded Indian representative Kidambi Srikanth in the rubber game 18-21, 21-7, 21. -13.
Jojo is still ahead of Prannoy by bagging three wins in the last four meetings between the two players. The world's eighth ranked men's singles last won against 28th-ranked Prannoy in the second round of the 2021 Denmark Open.
Right after Jonathan's match, the next match will pit Fajar/Rian against the Malaysian pair Nur Izzuddin/Goh Sze Fei. On a record, Fajar / Rian are more favored by packing three wins in four meetings between the two pairs.
The final will be a means of proving Fajar/Rian as one of the best men's doubles at the Cipayung National Training Center after previously failing to advance to the top party in the last two years.
The world number nine pair last felt the atmosphere of the final round at the 2019 Korea Open. At that time, they successfully presented the championship title after defeating the Japanese seeds Takeshi Kamura / Keigo Sonoda.
The Swiss Open 2022 badminton final will start at 11.00 local time or 17.00 WIB.
