JAKARTA Jonathan Christie made it through the first round of the India Open 2025. He is the third representative of Indonesia to get a ticket to the next stage.
The second seed secured his place through the victory of two straight games 21-18 and 21-15 over China's Taipei representative Wang Tzu Wei, on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, WIB night.
This is Jonathan's first win of this year. He previously played his first tournament at the Malaysia Open 2025 last week, but immediately lost in the first half.
"Last week the results were less than satisfactory and today we are trying to focus more on it. When we are superior, we have more control and are more daring to attack," said Jonathan.
Jonathan in the second half will return to meet with Chinese representatives Taipei. This time he faced Su Li Yang.

On paper, Jonathan leads a 1-0 win-loss record with Su. The only win came at the 2023 Japanese Kumamoto Master, which ended in a rubber game.
"At the previous meeting it was very crowded, he had good quality in terms of attack, but I was ready to do my best," said Jonathan.
Indonesia had previously received two tickets for the second half through Gregoria Mariska Tunjung and Dejan Ferdinansyah/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti.
