JAKARTA - Sinisuka Ginting, the Indonesian men's singles badminton player is determined to increase the consistency of the game after being stopped in the quarter-finals of the Denmark Open 2023 at Odense.

"I certainly want to be more consistent in terms of performance, because in the last few months, performance has decreased a bit because of one thing and another," Ginting said quoting Antara.

The world number two men's singles was previously defeated by Weng Hong Yang in the quarter-finals with two straight games 15-21, 9-21, Friday night Odense time.

According to the Tokyo Olympic silver medalist, the opponent has played tough since the beginning of the match. In fact, any attempt to turn things around could be broken by the men's singles from China.

Ginting also openly admitted that his performance today was not satisfactory, even though he was ranked superior to Weng, who is in 22nd position in the world.

"Overall, today's performance was not satisfied because he could not get out of the pressure, besides the opponent who played very well. He pressed me continuously from start to finish," said Ginting.

Ginting saw that Weng's preparations were very mature and ready for the match. With these results, Ginting had to admit the opponent's superiority, which was swept away by Weng with a meeting score of 3-0.

"I've tried to play at all costs but he can be said to be ready with it," added Ginting.

Ginting hopes that he can restore the quality of his game quickly in order to face the next tournaments. Moreover, the point collection phase towards the 2024 Paris Olympics has less than a year left.

"But over time until today, everyone can slowly return. Indeed, only time can heal, so hopefully in the future everything can be even better," Ginting concluded.
