JAKARTA Anthony Sinisuka Ginting's men's singles qualified for the second round of All England 2023 after defeating Thailand's representative Kantaphon Wangcharoen.

Anthony, who is the third seed, contributed to his opponent, two straight games 21-17 and 21-19 at Utilita Arena Birmingham, England, Tuesday, March 14, 2023 evening WIB.

This victory also sharpened Anthony's winning record over Wangcharoen to 6-3. This is also Anthony's second win over the same opponent this year after the India Open.

In the second half, Anthony will face India's Prannoy HS. He qualified after repatriating Chinese Taipei representative Wang Tzu Wei.
