Indonesia Savour Successful Day
It was a bright Day 2 for Indonesia at the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals 2023, with Anthony Sinisuka Ginting, Jonatan Christie and Fajar Alfian/Muhammad Rian Ardianto outplaying formidable opponents.

The only reverse they suffered was in women’s doubles, with Apriyani Rahayu/Siti Fadia Silva Ramadhanti falling in straight games to top seeds Chen Qing Chen/Jia Yi Fan.
The record hasn’t been particularly impressive for Ginting against Shi Yu Qi. The Indonesian trailed the Chinese 1-8 in their career meetings, and with Shi having upstaged favourite Viktor Axelsen in their opening match yesterday, the odds were stacked against Ginting.
The world No.4, however, turned it around after losing the opening game, looking quick and sharp and capitalising on his openings to lead Group A with his second win in two matches, 11-21 21-7 21-17.
