JAKARTA - Men's singles Anthony Sinisuka Ginting was confirmed to meet Danish representative Viktor Axelsen in the final round of the 2022 BWF World Tour Finals.
Ginting reached the final round of the season-ending event after repatriating compatriot Jonatan Christie, while Axelsen followed after beating Japan's Kodai Naraoka.
This is Ginting's second final at the BWF World Tour Finals after reaching the same round in 2019. At that time, he had to settle for being runner-up after being beaten by Kento Momota.
"This is my second final at the World Tour Finals after 2019. Of course you want more, not satisfied. There is still a task tomorrow that must be completed," Ginting said after the match in a statement received.
The journey of the 26-year-old badminton player from Cimahi in the World Tour year this year is quite slick.
He successfully passed the group stage by winning all three games.
He started his journey to beat Jonathan, then beat second seed from Chinese Taipei Chou Tien Chen, and finally won over 2021 world champion from Singapore Loh Kean Yew.
"Compared to the first meeting with Jojo yesterday, it feels even different. Higher pressure, more tension is there because this is already the semifinals. Surely our expectations are going to the final," he said.
On paper, Anthony Ginting was not favored to see the statistics of the meeting with Axelsen.
Tomorrow's final match will be the 15th meeting between the two badminton players.
In the previous 14 meetings, Axelsen led a straight win-loss record.
Ginting has lost eight times in a row (five times this year) since he last won at the Indonesia Masters 2020.
