JAKARTA Indonesian men's singles, Jonatan Christie, won easily over Canadian representative Brian Yang, to reach the second round of the India Open 2023.
Jojo, Jonatan's nickname, only took half an hour to win two straight games 21-14 and 21-9 at KD Jadhav Indoor Hall, New Delhi, Tuesday, January 17 evening WIB.
This victory is a cure for revenge for Jonathan, who lost their only previous meeting at the Sudirman Cup 2021.
The owner of the 2018 Asian Games gold medal is Indonesia's second representative to reach the second round. He followed the mixed doubles steps of Rehan Naufal Kusharjanto/Lisa Ayu Kusumawati.
In the second round, Jonathan will meet Zhao Jun Peng. This Chinese men's singles stepped into the second round after defeating its compatriot Weng Hong Yang.
Previously, Zhao and Jojo had met five times. Zhao led head to head to win-goal 3-2, where two of the wins came in their two latest meetings.
Two victories over Jonathan were carved by Zhao last year at the Indonesia Open and Master event, which was held together for two weeks at Istora Senayan, Jakarta.
Indonesia still has hope of adding tickets to the second round of the men's singles because Shesar Hiren Rhustavito and Anthony Sinisuka Ginting will only play the first round match on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Chico Aura Dwi Wardoyo had already lifted his suitcase early after losing to China's singles Shi Yuqi.
