JAKARTA The men's singles badminton player, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, confirmed that he would not play at the Indonesia Open 2025 which took place early next month.
Currently, the badminton player from West Java is still not fit and is currently recovering from a cartilage injury and muscle inflammation on the right shoulder, which has been experienced since preparation for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
"If everything goes well, it goes smoothly, and there are no obstacles, yes, hopefully in July 202 it will be able to compete," said Ginting.

In this year's calendar, Ginting has only participated in a tournament once. The only tournament played by the 28-year-old badminton player was the Malaysia Open 2025 in January 2025.
However, the Badminton World Federation (BWF) has approved a protection ranking application for Ginting. This is valid for three months, from March 25 to June 24, 2025.
"When the ranking protection was completed at the end of June 2025, but we also saw the condition, it was ready or not. So, it didn't want to be too hasty either," said Ginting.
The Indonesia Open 2025 is scheduled to take place on June 3'8, 2025 at Istora Senayan. This is a tournament that has a Super 1000 level or the highest at the World Tour BWF.
Ginting's absence left the Indonesian men's singles hoping for Jonatan Christie. This number will be one of the mainstays to get the title.
In the last three editions, Indonesia, which has the status of host, has not received a single title. Indonesia's last title in this event was secured by Marcus Fernaldi Gideon/Kevin Sanjaya Sukamuljo.
