JAKARTA - Indonesian men's singles, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, admitted that he was disappointed after failing to contribute points for the Indonesian team in the inaugural match of the 2022 Thomas Cup, Sunday, May 8.

In the match between Indonesia and Singapore, Anthony Ginting faced Loh Kean Yew. He gave up with a score of 13-21, 14-21.

"I am disappointed that I can't present the first point in the match against Singapore in the Thomas Cup," Ginting said as quoted from a written release from the Indonesian Badminton Association (PBSI).

The 25-year-old player admitted that he had given his best performance. He considered Kean Yew's performance was extraordinary in the match.

"Loh Kean Yew from the first played more pressing, and controlled the tempo of the game. He was also quick to read my strategy. He kept pressing," said Ginting.

In the second game, Ginting also admitted trying to reduce the opponent's speed. But Loh Kean Yew actually found his best playing pattern first.

"I myself am still not consistent," added Ginting.

Although Anthony Ginting failed to contribute points, the Indonesian team managed to close the game with a 4-1 victory over Singapore. Indonesia's struggle in the Thomas Cup will resume on Monday, May 9 starting at 19.00 p.m. GMT+7 (Indonesian Time).
