JAKARTA Indonesia no longer has a men's singles representative at the Denmark Open 2024 after Jonatan Christie was eliminated in the second round of the tournament.
The fourth seed had to lift his suitcase from this tournament after losing to Lu Guang Zu in the rubber games 19-21, 21-8, and 18-21 on Thursday, October 17, 2024, afternoon WIB.
This defeat made Jonathan follow in the footsteps of Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, who was previously eliminated at the earliest in the first round when he met Japan's singles, Kenta Nishimoto.
The return of Jonathan and Anthony automatically made Indonesia no longer have hope from the men's singles sector.
