JAKARTA — Jonatan Christie's men's singles failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open 2022. His step in the Super 1000 level event was stopped by Chinese representative Zhao Jun Peng.
Jojo, Jonatan's nickname, met Zhao for the second time in two consecutive weeks at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, on Thursday, June 16. The gold owner of the 2018 Asian Games gave up with a score of 21-12, 18-21, and 21-14.
Previously, Jonathan and Zhao met in the first round of the Indonesia Masters last week at the same place. At that time, Jojo was also forced to give up after playing the match for three sets.
Jonathan's defeat made Indonesia only have one representative for the men's singles in the last eight. The only one who passed there was Anthony Sinisuka Ginting.
Apart from Anthony, Pramudya Kusumawardana/Yeremia Rambitan also got the men's doubles ticket for the quarter-finals. The pair qualified after overthrowing the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion Lee Yang/Wang Chi-lin.
Representatives with the same fate as Jonathan include women's doubles Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amalia Cahya Pratiwi and men's doubles Leo Rolly Carnando/Daniel Marthin.
In the mixed doubles, Indonesia also had to run out of representatives after the resignation of Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti. The 2020 All England champion withdrew due to a waist problem experienced by Praveen.
