JAKARTA Anthony Sinisuka Ginting advanced to the quarter-finals of Malaysia Masters 2022. He won over India's Parulpalli representative Kashyap in two straight games 21-10 and 21-15 at Field 2 Axiata Arena, Kuala Lumpur, Thursday, July 7.

This victory made Anthony's dominance over his 36th ranking in the world even wider. He has now led unbeaten in eight meetings since their first duel in the last 32 of the 2017 French Open.

This quarter-final ticket for the Super 500 BWF level event made Anthony have a chance to meet his compatriot Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo. Chico has not played a second round match against Thailand's Kantaphon Wangcharoen when this news was written.

In addition, Anthony's quarter-final ticket was also obtained by the men's doubles Hendra Setiawan/Mohammad Ahsan. The veteran pair extended their move after overthrowing the Chinese pair, Ren Xiang Yu/Tan Qiang 21-14, 18-21, and 21-15.

The pair nicknamed The Daddies will then meet with Chinese representatives Taipei Lu Ching Yao/Yang Po Han who get rid of German representatives Mark Lamsfuss/Marvin Seidel.

Previously, tickets for the second half had been pocketed by several representatives of Indonesia. One of them is the women's singles Gregoria Mariska Tunjung who got rid of the Korean representative Kim Ga Eun's move.

Mixed doubles Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari also managed to keep their dreams going. They entered the top eight after beating the Japanese pair, Yuki Kaneko/Misaki Matsutomo.

Unfortunately, several other Indonesian representatives had to lift their suitcases. They are Hafiz Faizal/Serena Kanj, Febby Valencia Dwijayanti Gani/Ribka Sugiarto, Febriana Dwi Puji Kusuma/Amalia Cahaya Pratiwi.
