Playing against the world champion and the vociferous Singapore Indoor Stadium, Ginting kept his cool to seal the deal 21-17 21-14 in 37 minutes. In doing so, the world No.6 ended his own long wait to appear in a showpiece bout since winning the 2020 Indonesia Masters.
“Grateful that I’m back in a final. I waited many months for this but I have one more job to complete,” said Ginting matter-of-factly post-match.
On his takedown of Loh, the 25-year-old revealed: “The plan was not to let him dictate the match. We are both fast players so it was a lot about neutralising him, attacking first and staying patient.
