JAKARTA - The former world number one badminton player, Kento Momota, felt sad and upset because he failed in the early round of the Indonesia Open 2022. He was eliminated after being defeated by the Danish men's singles, Rasmus Gemke.
In the match which took place at Istora Senayan, Jakarta, Wednesday, June 15, Kento Momota gave up in a three-game battle. After losing 19-21 in the first game, he won the second game 21-19. However, in the decisive game, he again lost 14-21.
He was sad because he failed to present a victory for his supporters at Istora Senayan. Kento Momota was also annoyed that he had to end the fight so early.
"I am sad and upset because I immediately lost in the first round in front of my own fans in Indonesia," said the badminton player from Japan, as reported by Antara.
"Even though I would love to play more matches in Indonesia, but that's how it is. However, I'm happy to finally be able to play at Istora again," he continued.
The failure at the Indonesia Open 2022 extends Kento Momota's bad record this year. He has never won a single title.
Momota's best achievement was reaching the quarter-finals of the All England 2022, last March. Apparently, Momota's condition hasn't fully recovered yet. Injuries due to car accidents in early 2021 are suspected to have played a role.
