JAKARTA Jonathan Christie managed to maintain his positive record by securing the ticket to the second round of the BWF Super 750 French Open 2025.
The sixth seed repatriated Kenta Nishimoto from Japan in a battle of two straight games 21-18 and 21-12 at Glaz Arena, France, on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, WIB night.
This is Jonathan's 11th straight win after he won two previous tournaments, consecutively at the Korea Open and Denmark Open 2025.
"Physically I can't stand it too much, so in today's match I prefer to complain a lot of punches. If there is a good opportunity, then attack," said Jonathan.

This is Jonathan's third straight win over Kenta. While at the Korea Open, he won in the quarter-finals. Then at the Denmark Open, he won in the first round.
Overall, Jonathan won 14-9 wins. The number of wins was five of them this year out of a total of six clashes that have occurred.
"Obviously with me winning at the Denmark Open 2025, I believe he will definitely increase. That is a good capital for my future matches," said Jonatan.
