JAKARTA – The draw for the Indonesia Masters 2022 badminton tournament has been carried out. The two men's national singles, Anthony Sinisuka Ginting and Shesar Hiren Rhustavito, immediately faced a steep challenge.

The BWF Super 500 level competition will take place from June 7 to 12 2022 at Istora Senayan, Jakarta. For this reason, Indonesian representatives are expected to be able to talk a lot.

However, the effort to penetrate to the final is definitely not easy, especially for Shesar and Anthony. The reason is, that these two players immediately met opponents who always made it difficult for them in the previous tournament.

Shesar, a 28-year-old badminton player, had to accept the fact that he met the world number one player, Viktor Axelsen, in the first round.

On paper, Shesar was clearly not an underdog at all. The reason is from the previous two meetings, he always lost against the Danish representative.

One of his defeats actually occurred at the same event in 2020 which took place in Bali. At that point, Shesar was made to give up straight.

Meanwhile, Anthony also met an opponent who was still superior head to head, namely Kunlavut Vitidsarn. Anthony, who this year is the sixth seed in Istora, has a 1-2 win-loss record against the Thai representative.

He actually felt the latest defeat when he met Kunlavut in the Thomas Cup event earlier this month. Meanwhile, his only victory occurred at the 2021 Thailand Open.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Chrostoe met an opponent he believed to be insurmountable, Zhao Jun Peng.

In the women's singles event, Gregoria will face Thailand's Phittayapon Chaiwan in the first round. She became the only women's singles to directly qualify for the first round.

Meanwhile, Ruselli Hartawan had to start the tournament from the qualifying round. He will face off against Asuka Takahashi.
