JAKARTA The men's singles badminton player Anthony Sinisuka Ginting was withdrawn from the 2025 Asian Badminton Asia Championship (BAC).
The Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) confirmed this information through their official Instagram account on Monday, March 24, 2025, afternoon WIB.
"Anthony Ginting has been withdrawn from the 2025 Asian Championships (BAC) because he is still recovering from injury. His position will be replaced by Alwi Farhan," wrote PBSI.

In the tournament, Ginting was injured in the arm and his journey ran aground in the second half. He was eliminated due to losing against Kunlavut Vitidsarn.
Head of PBSI's Development and Achievement Division, Eng Hian, said that Ginting had just undergone a medical check and his condition was not fit at all so he could not play at the 2025 BAC.
"According to the results of the medical team's examination, Ginting's condition was declared not ready to compete and it still needed time to return the conditions to the ready-to-match stage," he said.
Ginting's absence means that Alwi will be accompanied by Jonatan Christie in the men's singles sector. Indonesia has sent a total of 11 representatives of the 2025 BAC.
Badminton Asia Championship 2025 will take place on April 8-13, 2025 at Ningbo Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, Ningbo, China. The total prize provided is 500 thousand US dollars.
