Before confirming his steps to the last four of the Indonesia Open, Ginting had to beat compatriot Jonatan Christie first. In the "brotherly war" match, Ginting won two straight games 21-19, 21-16.
Their competition was tight, even Ginting was left behind before making a surprise by taking points in critical situations.
Both Jonatan and Ginting already know each other's strengths and weaknesses because they often train together at the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center.
So the way out to win the match is by arguing about physical strategy and resilience. The two points that Ginting successfully executed on the field to beat Jonathan.
When he was two or three points behind, Ginting maintained his playing pattern and did not want to rush to kill his opponent. He only waited when Jonathan was careless and instead found the ball dead on his own.
"He's good at helping out training together too. There are also lucky factors, especially at the final critical point I'm bolder and reckless. That's what earned me a few points," Ginting concluded.
