JAKARTA – Anthony Sinisuka Ginting took his suitcase from the 2023 China Masters. This result also means that Indonesia has no more hope in the singles event.

The second seed lost in two straight games 18-21 and 17-21 against Chinese Taipei singles, Lin Chun-Yi, at Shenzhen Bay Gymnasium, China, Thursday, November 23 2023.

Even so, Anthony said he was still grateful. He admitted that he had used all his abilities, but could not get the best results.

“From the tempo of the game, I felt like I was constantly being controlled by my opponent. "I couldn't develop the pattern of play I wanted," said Anthony after the match.

The first game was very tight. Anthony was ahead with a score of 18-16 before his opponent scored five points in a row to win the game.

Meanwhile, in the second game, Anthony really fell from the start. He lost three points early in the game and continued to trail until the end of the game.

“At the end of the second game, I actually tried to catch up again. "However, the difference in points is too big," said Ginting.

Ginting's defeat meant that Indonesian men's singles no longer had a representative in the BWF Super 750 level event. This number had the same fate as the women's singles.

Women's singles previously ran out of representatives after Gregoria Mariska Tunjung lost against former world champion from Japan, Nozomi Okuhara.

Apart from these two names, the mixed doubles Rinov Rivaldy/Pitha Haningtyas Mentari were also eliminated. The pair lost against sixth seeds, Jiang Zhen Bang/Wei Ya Xin.
