JAKARTA – The head men's singles coach at Pelatnas PBSI, Irwansyah, confirmed that Jonatan Christie will be absent from the 2023 China Masters due to injury.
The BWF Super 750 level championship will take place on 21-26 November 2023 at Shenzhen Bay Gymnasium, China.
The withdrawal of Jojo, as Jonatan is familiarly known, left only Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo in the Indonesian men's singles.
"Jojo has indeed withdrawn from the 2023 China Masters tournament. He decided to withdraw because he suffered an injury to his left leg. The injury was sustained when Jojo appeared at the last Japan Masters," said Irwansyah in his official statement.

Jojo decided to withdraw from China Masters 2023 after discussions with Irwansyah. Both of them then agreed that they did not want to take risks.
"Because we don't want the injury to get worse, we decided that it would be better for Jojo to withdraw from the 2023 China Masters. This decision was taken so that Jojo could immediately receive the best treatment when he arrived in Jakarta," said Irwansyah.
Irwansyah further hopes that Jonathan will recover soon so he can prepare himself to face the BWF World Tour Final.
"With optimal preparation, hopefully Jojo can perform better and the results will be optimal," he said.
Jonathan's resignation meant that Indonesia only fielded 14 representatives. The details are five men's doubles, four mixed doubles, two men's singles, two women's doubles and one women's singles.
