JAKARTA - Anthony Sinisuka Ginting has easily qualified for the last 16 of the 2022 BWF World Championship on Tuesday, August 23 at noon WIB. The Indonesian men's singles beat Georges Julien Paul in less than 30 minutes in a meeting at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, Japan.

Ginting won easily two straight games in a 29-minute match. He beat the Mauritius representative with a landslide score of 21-10 and 21-16.

Ginting's dominance was seen from the start of the first game, the sixth seed easily collected the early three points from Georges without a fight. Meanwhile, his opponent just started chasing one point after Ginting took the lead.

Ginting continued to play carefully to lead 11-3 in the first interval. After the break, Georges, who is quite far adrift of points, was unable to catch up.

Ginting used this condition to win the first game with a score of 21-10.

In the second game, representatives of Mauritius began to try to turn things around. Georges did not let Ginting steal points easily.

Buying and selling attacks continue to occur until the points show the number 8-7 for Georges' advantage. Unfortunately, Georges often made his own mistakes which cost him a lot of points so Ginting won 11-8 in the second interval.

After halftime, Ginting's dominance was increasingly dashed. The badminton player from Cimahi continued to collect points that his opponent could not catch and closed the match with a 21-16 victory.

In the next round, Ginting will meet a tough opponent. He will face the winner of the match between Rasmus Gemke (Denmark) and Shi Yu Qi (China).
