JAKARTA – Badminton player in the men’s category, Jonatan Christie, did not experience a victory in the three matches he played in Group A of the BWF World Tour Finals (WTF) 2025 held in Hangzhou, China.

“Even though I knew I wasn’t going to pass, I did my job. In big matches there is pressure and expectations, you still have to keep learning and rethinking,” Jonatan said after the match.

: He also suffered a two-game straight defeat against Danish representative Anders Antonsen, which immediately ensured his fate in a tournament in which only the best players participate, failed in the ranking round.
“For next year, first of all, it is certain that the resolution must be kept away from the injuries because this year the obstacles have gone up and down several times. That’s actually the hope for at least next year,” Jonatan said.
In addition to Jonatan, Putri Kusuma Wardani’s women’s doubles team was also decided in the compound phase. In addition, the mixed pair of Jafar Hidayatullah/Felisha Alberta Nathaniel Pasaribu was also decided.
: Putri and Jafar/Felisha can end their journey with a victory each. Putri can win against Tomoka Miyazaki, while Jafar/Felisha can beat Goh Soon Huat/Shevon Jemie Lai.
Jonatan: Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Shohibul Fikri, who should get the title, returned without a victory. They were crushed by Satwiksairaj Rankireddy/Chirag Shetty, Liang Wei Keng/Wang Chang and Aaron Chia/Soh Wooi Yik.
