JAKARTA - Indonesian men's singles badminton player, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Indonesia Open 2022. This result was achieved after defeating the Danish representative, Hans-Kristian Solberg Vittinghus in two games ending 21-17 and 21-9.
After confirming victory, Ginting had time to approach Vittinghus to shake hands. It was at this moment in front of the net that Ginting and Vittinghus were seen talking briefly and laughing together.
After the match Ginting revealed the conversation that had occurred between him and Vittinghus. Apparently at that moment there was a funny conversation that took place between the world's fifth-ranked badminton player and his opponent.
Ginting admitted that he approached Vittinghus to thank him for fighting both of them in the last 16.
"As usual, when we finish playing, we thank each other," said Anthony Ginting.
But after that he said, Vittinghus actually asked him to help translate 'good luck' into Indonesian. This was done by Vittinghus to encourage Ginting to qualify for the advanced round.
“Then he was studying Indonesian, he asked me what Indonesian language is 'good luck'. Yes, I told him and he repeated it too," added Ginting laughing.
Vittinghus is known to be seriously studying Indonesian. The Danish player even brought in a special Indonesian teacher.
