JAKARTA Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Jonatan Christie had the opportunity to meet Viktor Axelsen at the beginning of next year when they appeared in the first major tournament, Malaysia Open 2024.
Malaysia Open, which is at the level of Super 1000 BWF, is scheduled to take place from 9 to 14 January 2024. This is an opportunity for Indonesian representatives to hunt for points to get tickets to the 2024 Paris Olympics.
In this event, the journey of the two Indonesian representatives above can certainly be difficult. The reason is, they are in the top half of the chart with the world number one men's singles from Denmark, Viktor Axelsen.
Jonathan Christie, who is the sixth seed, will start his journey in this event against India's representative, Kidambi Srikanth.
If he wins then he will meet Kanta Tsuneyama (Japan) or Ng Ka Long Angus (Hong Kong) in the second half.

While still able to get through the second half, a tougher challenge is likely to be faced by Jonathan in the quarter-finals. He could have met Axelsen, who currently excels in winning 10-2 over Jonathan.
If Jonathan is likely to meet Axelsen earlier, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting actually has a chance to clash with the owner of the Tokyo Olympics gold medal in the semifinals.
In the first half, Ginting will meet Chinese representative Taipei, Su Li Yang. He then met Lu Guang Zu or Lee Zii Jia in the second half.
Furthermore, in the quarter-finals he can be tested by Shi Yuqi, Rasmus Gemke, Chou Tien Chen, or Toma Junior Popov.
Similar to Jonathan, Ginting's statistics against Axelsen are also truly gloomy. Of the 17 meetings, he only won four matches.
