Jonathan was forced to play rubber games 21-19, 18-21, and 21-13 against the seventh seed from Thailand to secure the second ticket in the men's singles, Thursday, March 14, 2024 evening WIB.
"Praise God for the victory today. I can play more patiently and reduce death by myself," said Jonathan after the match.

However, on paper Jonathan had the advantage of winning 5-3 in their previous eight meetings.
"The game was not easy against Kunlavut. After reaching last week's final round at the French Open 2024, I think he has more confidence against this All England."
"However, I also want to continue to improve my performance day by day, trying to be the best," said Jonathan.
Jonathan will next meet Shi Yuqi in the quarter-finals.
Shi Yuqi secured the spot in the last eight after defeating another Indonesian men's singles, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo.
Apart from Jonathan, Gregoria Mariska Tunjung also secured tickets for the quarter-finals. The 2017 junior world champion qualified after beating the representative of the United States, Beiwen Zhang.
Gregoria, who is the seventh seed, will meet Japan's mainstay, Akane Yamaguchi, in the quarter-finals. Akane is the fourth seed in the tournament.
