The Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist defeated Kodai Naraoka in last year’s final, having finished runner-up to Kento Momota at the previous edition in 2019. Ginting was also a semifinalist in 2017.
“I don’t know why but it just excites me to compete here,” the Indonesian revealed after his semifinal against Kunlavut Vitidsarn yesterday. “Everytime I play in Singapore, I get good vibes. It really has an effect on me and I end up giving my best performance. It feels like home away from home.”
On playing Anders Antonsen for the title, the world No.2 said: “We know each other’s game so well, it will be down to who adapts better to court conditions. I’m sure we will both prepare well. It will be an exciting match.”
