JAKARTA - Indonesian men's singles, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo, made a surprise at the 2022 Asian Badminton Championships. He managed to get rid of the first seed from Japan, Kento Momota, Wednesday, 27 April.

Chico won through a three-game battle after playing one hour and two minutes. He was happy to finally be able to end the match with a win.

Even though he managed to beat Kento Momota, the 23-year-old badminton player was not satisfied.

"I'm happy to win over Momota and to be able to give all my strength today. But I'm not satisfied, I want to go far here," said Chico, in the official Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI) website.

Chico actually lost 17-21 in the first game. However, he bounced back in the next two games and won 21-17 and 7-21.

"In the first game, I actually enjoyed playing it, just rushing at the points towards the end. In the second and third games I applied the same strategy but just was more patient," said Chico.

In the second round later, Chico Aura will face the representative of Hong Kong, Lee Cheuk Yiu. He qualified for the second round after defeating Jordan's Bahaedeen Ahmad Alshannik 18-21, 21-11 and 21-15.
