JAKARTA Jonatan Christie's men's singles stepped into the last 16 of the All England 2024 after stopping Chou Tien Chen.
Jonathan secured the ticket after winning two straight games 21-4 and 21-15 over the single China Taipei at Utilita Arena, Birmingham, England, Wednesday, March 13, 2024, WIB night.
This result is better than when Jonathan appeared in French Open 2024 last week. At that time, he immediately lost in the first round.
"I didn't expect the results of the match in France. However, that result is enough to provide extra motivation to play today's match."
"Self-confidence is also increasing and I hope to maintain this momentum in the future," said Jonathan.

On paper before the match, Jonathan was recorded to have won 8-6 wins. However, he lost two of the latest clashes before meeting at All England 2024.
"Against Chou Tien Chen, it was never easy even though he was not like he used to be. I believe he still has the ability and good things," said Jonathan.
"Earlier in the second game it was not easy. He had time to put up a fight. It's just that, I learned from last week's mistakes. I still try to play pressing."
"I had a lot of discussions with the coach earlier. That's enough to allow me to reduce tensions on the pitch," he said.
Before Jonathan, Indonesian representatives from the men's doubles Leo Rolly Carnando / Daniel Marthin had already appeared.
The journey of the 2019 junior world champion pair had to run aground in the first round. They gave up against Tokyo 2020 Olympic gold medalist Lee Yang/Wang Chi Lin.
