JAKARTA - Anthony Sinisuka Ginting failed to advance to the final of the Hong Kong Open 2024. He was eliminated after losing in the semifinals against Viktor Axelsen (Denmark) two straight games 9-21 and 19-21 at Hong Kong Coliseum, Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Ginting admits the Danish singles advantage of the former world number 1. He emphasized that Axelsen's game did not change significantly after winning gold at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
However, Anthony Ginting learned a valuable lesson from the meeting at the semifinals of the Hong Kong Open 2024.
As is known, the 27-year-old badminton player had difficulty in the first set so he lost easily.

However, Ginting's second set showed a high determination and did not give up even though he was far behind.
As a result, he postponed Axelsen's victory and threatened to approach 19-20. Unfortunately, his attempt failed because the Danish badminton player was able to close the second set.
"Positively, I didn't give up easily even though I was left behind. Still looking for a good way to play, taking good points," said Anthony Ginting after the match.
Anthony Ginting will further bring the experience to the China Open 2024 next week in order to perform even better.
