JAKARTA Anthony Sinisuka Ginting's men's singles qualified for the quarter-finals of the French Open 2023 after defeating the host's representative, Toma Junior Popov.

Anthony Ginting was forced to rise from the loss of the first game before winning the rubber games 11-21, 21-17, and 21-19 at the Glaz Arena, Rennes, France, Thursday, October 26, 2023 evening WIB.

"First, thank God, I was able to finish the match quite well. Even though in the first game, I could not implement the strategy properly, even far from what I designed," said Anthony after the match as accepted in the statement.

Anthony, who is the second seed in the BWF Super 750 level event, will then meet China's representative and eighth seed, Li Shi Feng.

The clash in this era will be the sixth meeting between the two badminton players. In the previous five duels, Anthony Ginting won 4-1.

"Tomorrow against Li Shi Feng, the hope is that he will definitely win. Not only me, but also Shi Feng, so we'll see how it is tomorrow on the pitch," said the owner of the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics.

Unfortunately, in other matches, the women's singles Kusuma Wardani and mixed doubles Praveen Jordan/Melati Daeva Oktavianti failed to get tickets.

Putri's move ran aground after losing to sixth seed Carolina Marin, while Praveen/Melati were stopped by Chinese pair Jiang Zhen Bang/Wei Ya Xin.
