JAKARTA – Indonesian men's singles, Jonatan Christie, revealed his conversation with Anthony Sinisuka Ginting ahead of the 2024 All England final. At that time, coach Irwansyah joined the conversation on the night before the final.
Jonathan himself emerged as the 2024 All England champion after winning the duel against his compatriot, Ginting. Jonathan won two straight games with a score of 21-15 and 21-14.
The night before the final match, Jonatan and Ginting were gathered by Irwansyah for talks. Jonathan also revealed that whoever wins the match has indeed become his fortune.
“Just like normal (chatting with Ginting), nothing specific,” said Jonatan when met by MNC Portal Indonesia at the PBSI Cipayung National Training Center, Thursday (21/3/2024).
“Only that night (ahead of the final) coach Irwansyah gathered together. Coach said thank you for your hard work, we can create an all Indonesian final, he was also happy,” continued Jonatan.
“He (Irwansyah) said that whoever wins the match tomorrow will have his fortune, it will be his blessing from God. So we will collect it at night,” said Jonatan.
The All Indonesian Final match in the All England 2024 men's singles itself is indeed something to be proud of. Because, after 30 years, men's singles finally created the All Indonesian Final and also sealed the All England title.
Moreover, Jonathan and Ginting's progress to the final was not easy. One of them was that Ginting beat the giant Viktor Axelsen from Denmark and Jonathan beat the second seed from China, Si Yu Qi.
