JAKARTA - The surprising news came from the men's singles badminton representative of Denmark, Anders Antonsen. He decided to withdraw in the first round of the 2022 Indonesia Masters.
Antonsen was originally scheduled to appear in the first round on Wednesday, June 8 at noon WIB. The 2019 Indonesia Masters champion challenged the South Korean representative, Heo Kwang Hee.
However, Heo Kwang Hee managed to win a ticket to the next round without breaking a sweat. Next, Hao Kwang Hee will face the winner of the match between Guang Zu (China) and Daren Liew (Malaysia).
Antonsen's resignation had become a question mark. However, through a YouTube video, the Danish player finally revealed the reason.
“I have bad news for all of you. So I just decided to withdraw from the Indonesia Masters," said Antonsen through his YouTube account.
"I should have played the first today, but was unlucky because I couldn't play," continued the 25-year-old player.
Antonsen explained that he had just been injured. Since seven days ago he was trying to recover.
"However, I just realized I can't play. I need a lot of time to recover so I can return to normal," he said again.
With the resignation of Antonsen, Denmark now only has three representatives in the men's singles number, namely Viktor Axelsen, Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus, and Rasmus Gemke.
