JAKARTA – Anthony Sinisuka Ginting has at least four weaknesses that caused him to be eliminated early at the 2022 Korea Open. One of them is the variation of his strokes is very monotonous.

Anthony was surprisingly eliminated in the last 32 of the Super 500 level event after being beaten 16-21, 13-21 by French badminton player Lucas Claerbout at the Palma Indoor Stadium, Suncheon, South Korea, on Tuesday, April 5, 2022.

Assistant Men's Singles Coach Irwansyah said his team had several weaknesses that were visible in the match. These weaknesses include not being able to control the opponent, monotonous variations, many die alone, and his feet look heavy on the field.

"I asked him after he finished playing, he said he had a bad feeling," said Irwansyah in a written statement.

The result in Korea was Anthony's fourth bad result this year. Previously he also failed in the round of 16 of the German Open, the quarter-finals of the All England, and the third round of the Swiss Open.

While in Germany, he ran aground in the second round after losing to Indian badminton player Lakshya Sen. Meanwhile, at the All England, Viktor Axelsen stopped him and was defeated by Prannoy SH at the Swiss Open.

"I have to fix his way of thinking because even in practice there are bad punches, he immediately thinks about it. And that's what makes him not believe in his abilities. The fall becomes a burden," said Irwansyah.

In the Korean Open men's singles, Indonesia has passed Shesar Hiren Rhustavito to the second round after winning over Sitthikom Thammasin. Meanwhile, Jonatan Christie will meet Malaysian representative Soong Joo Ven.
