JAKARTA – Men's singles badminton player Jonatan Christie and men's doubles Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto are confident in facing the 2024 Badminton Asia Championship (BAC).
The BAC took place at the Ningbo Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium, Ningbo, China, 9-14 April 2024. The two representatives above were present at this event after bringing home the All England title last month.
“ I feel like my confidence has increased after winning All England. Hopefully this can have a positive impact on my performance in the middle of the field, Jonatan said.
Jonathan was present at the BAC as the third seed. He started the struggle from the first half in the event against players who escaped the qualifying round.
Meanwhile, Fajar/Rian will start their journey in this tournament by fighting a pair from Thailand, namely Pharanyu Tsumaang/Worrapol Thongsa-nga.
“We are ready. There are no problems with the preparations as well. Victory at All England then of course becomes an encouragement for us with Fajar. We will continue to strive for the next achievement,” said Rian.
Men's doubles coach Aryono Miranat said that the Fajar/Rian pair had undergone optimal preparations so it was hoped that they would be able to make the best achievements.
The “Momentum of victory at All England must then be maintained. Armed with victory, the confidence of the players also increased. This positive thing must be maintained at the Asian Championships, ” he said.
BAC is the last tournament to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Jonathan and Fajar/Rian are currently in a safe position to qualify for France later. However, they still need the best results to boost their rankings so that they can become seeded in Paris later.
