Congrats, JC, the SYQ slayer, found himself reaping gold after all the hardwork in this week! Hopefully he can be more consistent and pose a threat to top players in the future.
A surprise package in men's singles category, world number 15 Jonatan Christie defeats 4th seed Chou Tien Chen in gruelling 75 minutes match, 21-18 / 20-22 / 21-15. Christie is playing exceptional badminton along this individual event, started from second round when he vanquished top-seed & All England Champion Shi Yuqi. Hopefully this Asian Games gold medal will boost his confidence to perform consistently in BWF World Tours and major events next, congratulations! MEN'S SINGLES Medalists Gold - Jonatan Christie (INA) Silver - Chou Tien Chen (TPE) Bronze - Kenta Nishimoto (JPN) ; Anthony Sinisuka Ginting (INA)
Such long time ago Indonesia men's singles can't talk too much in badminton A-list tournaments post Taufik Hidayat era (2006 Doha AG Gold medal). Christie-Ginting duet certainly will bring bright prospect to shine again particularly Tokyo 2020 when gold medal for INA contingent always coming from badminton.
Yeah bronze yet still he is a medalist. Well I guess Momota still have the next one. And fortunately JPN don't care much about Asian Games medals apparently.
