The badminton player from Sampang had reduced the position to 4-5, but Jason immediately moved away. Jason was not overtaken anymore after being able to lead by six at the interval.
In the second game, Ubed started well and managed to lead 4-0. Jason then chased and equalized the score 6-6, but Ubed again managed to add two points to the lead.
However, Jason's nine consecutive points after that changed the course of the game. Ubed who was under pressure was difficult to get back to his best game to lose.
Ubed's defeat made the Indonesian men's singles just have to hope for Alwi Farhan and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting. The two names will only play the first round on Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
Ginting will start his journey against Christo Popov from France and Alwi Farhan waiting for his opponent to qualify.
