Anthony Sinisuka Ginting gave it everything he had, but it still wasn’t enough against Viktor Axelsen. As he fell to his seventh straight loss – his third in four weeks -- to the Dane, this time in the quarterfinals of the PETRONAS Malaysia Open 2022, the Indonesian could be expected to feel frustrated.
Not that he admitted to it. On the contrary, Ginting sounded like an earnest student having completed a valuable lesson.
“I’m not thinking about it (getting frustrated). I mean, it’s good for me that I can learn again about how to play on the court with Axelsen. I still have to improve, I still have to do the homework about the match day. So after this, I have to discuss with my coach about how to play, what’s my strategy. So yeah, it’s good for me. I can learn again and learn again.
