Victorious yesterday of the world No.5, the Indonesian Anthony Ginting, the young Fosséen (19 years old and 70th in the world) was very close to achieving a new feat during the Indonesian Open (Super1000) by losing in three sets against the Indian Sai Praneeth and more than an hour 20 of play (17-21, 21-14, 19-21). A disappointment for the Provençal who had been able to keep a cool head to digest a failed start to the third set (4-9, 12-11, 17-14).
But the Indian, already executioner of his brother Toma Junior Popov in the previous round, is not 16th in the world for nothing. The latter glued to 18-18 then 19-19 to win on his first game wheel. This Indonesian Open, the equivalent of a grand slam tournament in tennis, has shown that the young Fosséen is now able to play in the big leagues.
